I just had my interview the other day. I was a little nervous at first but my interviewer was really nice. Although half way throw the interview he looked like he was starting to nod off. Overall I think it went pretty well, I think I should have emphased why chicago a bit better though. I kind of lost my list of things I wanted to say on that one. A little more practice probably would of done me some good as well. But overall I think it did not go to bad so I guess now the waiting game begins a new. Good luck to everyone else.

Chicago Booth On-Campus Interview Rundown:
- i recommend doing the scheduled Booth campus visit. most of it is standard: tour, lunch, admissions spiel, but you get to ask and receive candid answers from the students and pick up some talking points and phrases (other than "flexibility" and "faculty"). i would also sit in on a class. i sat in on a negotiations course. the prof grouped the class into about 15 teams of 4, each split between a government and a private entity. then gave them separate profiles and asked them to negotiate the privatization of a business. i got to watch both sides and then sit in on the class summary at the end. it was amazing. do you need to do all this, no, but the whole experience really makes you comfortable at the school and gives you genuine things to converse about in your interview.
- dont worry. really. the interview (the on campus one) is straight forward. know your reasons for MBA. know your reasons for why Booth. know what you would contribute to the school and community. have a few leadership stories. youll do fine. the interviewers are neutral to friendly. my real advice here is: 30-45mins goes by pretty fast and you do most of the talking. so try to really have a few key points you want to get across and really weave them through everything you want to say. also, take a sec to collect your thoughts before you speak if you need to. its ok. make sure you answer the question directly, try not to ramble. theres nothing worse than spewing irrelevant BS. lastly, this seems to be mostly a fit interview, so pick responses that highlight initiative and analytical attributes and whatever else you think Booth is looking for.
buena suerte a todo.

hey guys, just wanted to double check that there was nothing more to be done after the interview? is it literally now we just sit back and wait for the decision?
i know decisions are out end of march... anyone heard if they release decisions beforehand like other schools?
