Has anyone had an on campus interview yet?

We understand how stressful it can be to wait during the whole interview stage, but know that you're not alone in this process. Based on past trends, it's quite common for applicants to experience delays after being notified of a match. It can sometimes take up to 2 weeks to be paired with an interviewer, so please don't feel discouraged if you haven't heard back right away. Once you're matched, you'll be responsible for reaching out and scheduling the interview soon, which can sometimes feel like an extra layer of responsibility. But remember, this is all part of the process, and your patience and proactive approach will help you navigate it smoothly. Once you’ve contacted them, you’ll work together to find a suitable date and time. While it’s not uncommon for there to be some waiting involved in this process, it’s important to be proactive and initiate contact to avoid delays in scheduling. Trust the process, and know that it's normal to experience these steps before things fall into place. You've got this! Good luck everyone!

Hi, does anyone know how is the background check process at Booth?

Can anyone please share things past candidates have said in the one minute Booth video?

idk specifically for Booth, but most MBA programs use Re Vera Services. It verifies your transcripts, and your employment.

Just got this email last night. So far they have asked for transcripts, and this is what is required to verify the jobs*

Thanks for the information. Luckily, I still have some of these documents. But, some of my documents are not in english. Should I need to translate or just submitted the original one?

You get 60 seconds, so it’s crucial to pick a single story that offers depth and showcases who you are and what you stand for. It’s also an opportunity to talk something about yourself that may not be covered elsewhere in your application. Try to select one meaningful story that can highlight a unique aspect of your personality! You can choose something from your personal or professional experience, career aspirations, or a unique perspective that has left a good impact in your work/ outside. Some idea that influenced your approach to business, personal interests or passions that demonstrate your well-rounded character. Whatever topic you choose the key is to deliver a clear, focused message within the one-minute limit, ensuring that your response is concise yet impactful. The goal is to understand your communication style, capabilities, and personality. As a result, the way you express yourself might matter more than the content of what you say. Good luck!

I do not know the answer to this. I assume they have this issue with international students from various countries and might have something in place? http://www.reveraservices.com Their website, in case you need to contact them
