Oh man... this is like the Wharton checkbox controversy all over again. That was an entertaining few days. Good luck everyone!

Hey guys,
Just received an interview invite. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is any disadvantage to interviewing off-campus, particularly if you have not visited the school yet.
I am from the Northeast and the trip expense makes me feel that I should just do an off campus interview. That being said, if it would at all improve my chances of admission, I would highly consider sucking it up and making the trip. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Nick

No difference. The only 'advantage' is that if you haven't visited and are waitlisted you can write a passionate love letter about your trip to campus (whereas, if you've never been, thats harder to do), but if you've visited, there's no (compelling) reason to do so again.

To: Chicago Booth Community

From: Edward A. Snyder

I want to thank everyone who reached out after I announced last fall that I would end my responsibilities as Dean on June 30th of this year. Chicago Booth is an incredible community and I shall miss leading a school that has such high integrity and standards. That said, the tradition of Deans serving at most two terms is important to Booth’s culture, as it ensures new leadership perspectives and helps our community challenge itself even further.

In my earlier communication, I explained that my immediate plan after June 30th was to take a one-year sabbatical. Following that, I am pleased to have decided on the next phase of my professional career: I have committed to a “forward contract” to become Dean of the Yale School of Management beginning in the 2011-12 academic year.

As anyone who has contemplated leaving a great organization, such as Booth, for a new opportunity knows, one confronts many considerations and a mix of emotions. One consideration is timing. The advantage of this timeline is that I will be able to complete this academic year as Booth’s Dean without conflicts of energy. In this regard I have shared with my close colleagues, President Zimmer, our professional staff, and others, a summary of important goals and objectives that will guide me over the remainder of this academic year. A major component of this “game plan” is maintaining our strong focus on supporting our students and alumni in their professional and career development efforts.

Another consideration when making a change is career impact. This personal news represents, of course, my decision to continue as a business school dean. I consider myself to be some combination of academic leader, professor, and person with deep interests in business practice and public policy. For those reasons, I find the role of a business school dean extremely satisfying and unique. I will look forward to the opportunity to help the Yale School of Management build a stronger future. The greatness of the University of Chicago and the force of Chicago Booth, however, will always be a large part of me.

While a new challenge is exciting, it is balanced with my pride in Chicago Booth. Given our exceptional faculty and their impact on diverse fields, the unprecedented quality of our students and our applicants, the continuing and diverse achievements of our alumni, our momentum on the career front, our highly-regarded staff, and our excellent financial condition – I am confident that Booth will continue to move aggressively on a superb trajectory. I also believe that we are on track for a good transition that will enhance Booth’s goals.

I want to again express that it is a great privilege to be a part of this community of faculty, students, alumni, and staff and to thank several groups of people. Stacey Kole, Richard Leftwich, and Mark Zmijewski constitute the best team of Deans anywhere and they are supported by our superb Senior Staff: the Associate Deans who lead major components of our programs and the Executive Directors who run large parts of the Chicago Booth enterprise. I benefit greatly from the people to whom I report, including President Bob Zimmer, Provost Tom Rosenbaum, and those who guide and support Booth in their roles on the University’s Board of Trustees, our Council, and our Global Advisory Board. Finally, it is simply terrific to be around our great faculty, students, and alumni, whose energy and aspirations keep me feeling positive about our school and the world.

So they've begun inviting domestic applicants? Anyone else in the States get an invite yet?

Same case with Wharton. Mine went complete in a day...

I sent mine in at 10am on 01/06.

why bummed out? invites just started going out. my application status is still "received", so i know for example that they haven't even looked at my app yet. which means that many others are in the same boat too. don't start worrying for a couple more weeks.

Hear hear. I am also still "received" and not completed. I almost don't want to hear right now anyway. I submitted my last app last night and I am still Burnt.Out. Don't want to start stressing about an interview right away. What do I wear what do I say what do I eat where do I go how do you do who are you who am I?!

Enjoy a couple of weeks away from this madness, friends. There is literally nothing you can do until you get an e-mail -- except make yourself crazy watching other people report back.

Question for past admits:
For R2, they say we will find out about interview requests by Feb. 15th. Any idea on how they release them? All at once or as the apps are reviewed? how fast after we find out can we make an appointment for an interview, based on past interviewees? I am going to visit/interview at Kellogg middle/end of feb. and was hoping to visit booth/interview during this trip (if im lucky enough to get an invite. this whole discussion may be moot.)

any advice?

During R1 the invites were spread out over a couple weeks. There seemed to be about two big waves - one right around the day they said invites would begin to go out, and another a few days before the end of the window. They gave about 2-3 weeks between the invite and when you needed to interview, and I think there was a choice of about six or seven different dates to interview. Your timing might work out pretty well. Just don't confuse your why Chicago points with why Kellogg... I did Chicago and then Wharton interviews two days in a row and it was a bit tough keeping everything straight. Good luck!

Please add me to the roll call!

I submitted on 1/6, and received an invite to interview on 1/20. Am thrilled as I've already been dinged by Haas and Stanford. I'm a domestic applicant.

Interestingly, for on-campus interviewing, I could only choose between 2/8-2/17, so I think time slots after 2/17 are being reserved for people who are being reviewed and notified later.
