How did you choose your most recent job/internship and how did this experience influence your future goals? What about the Chicago Booth MBA makes you feel it is the next best step in your career at this time? (750-1000 words) 1a. FOR REAPPLICANTS ONLY: Upon reflection, how has your thinking regarding your future, Chicago Booth, and/or getting an MBA changed since the time of your last application? (250 words) 2. Please choose one of the following (500 - 750 words): Describe a time when you wish you could have retracted something you said or did. When did you realize your mistake and how did you handle the situation? -or- Describe a time when you were surprised by feedback that you received. What was the feedback and why were you surprised? Slide Presentation We have asked for a great deal of information throughout this application and now invite you to tell us about yourself. In four slides or less please answer the following question: What have you not already shared in your application that you would like your future classmates to know about you? We have set forth the following guidelines for you to consider when creating your presentation. * The content is completely up to you. There is no right or wrong approach to this essay. * Feel free to use the software you are most comfortable with. Acceptable formats for upload in the online application system are PowerPoint or PDF. * There is a strict maximum of 4 slides, though you can provide fewer than 4 if you choose. * Slides will be printed and added to your file for review, therefore, flash, hyperlinks, embedded videos, music, etc. will not be viewed by the committee. You are limited to text and static images to convey your points. Color may be used. * Slides will be evaluated on the quality of content and ability to convey your ideas, not on technical expertise or presentation. * You are welcome to attach a document containing notes if you feel a deeper explanation of your slides is necessary. However the hope is the slide is able to stand alone and convey your ideas clearly. You will not be penalized for adding notes but you should not construct a slide with the intention of using the notes section as a consistent means of explanation. Optional Essay If there is any important information that is relevant for your candidacy that you were unable to address elsewhere in the application, please share that information here. 2010 Deadlines Round 1 Deadline: October 14, 2009 Mid-Decision Date: November 11, 2009 Decision date: December 22, 2009 Round 2 Deadline: January 6, 2010 Mid-Decision Date: February 17, 2010 Decision date: March 24, 2010 Round 3 Deadline: March 10, 2010 Mid-Decision Date: April 21, 2010 Decision date: May 12, 2010 Previous Year Threads 2009 - calling-chicago-booth-applicants-for-64813.html 30 ADMITS 14 MATRICULATING 26 DING 14 WL 2008 - calling-chicago-gsb-applicants-48955.html 21 ADMITS 14 MATRICULATING 31 DING 2007 - gsb-r1-and-r2-lets-the-pants-pooping-commence-40002.html 10 ADMITS 11 DING Stats https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key ... utput=html kwam (2008): Faculty: https://www.chicagobooth.edu/faculty/directory.aspx Courses offered: https://gsbportal.chicagobooth.edu/porta ... rue&mode=2 Curriculum requirement: https://programs.chicagogsb.edu/curriculum/degree.aspx walker: Guide to Slide Presentation

I got my interview invite too. And I submitted on the due date. So there doesn't seem to be a great deal of correlation between submission date and interview request date.

Had my interview yesterday. Typical questions.

Why MBA? Why now?
What draws you to Chicago?
How would you describe your leadership style?
Tell me about a time when (fill in the blank with teamwork/leadership questions)
Where else are you applying?
Is there anything you want to add to your file that you forgot/didn't have a chance to submit in your app?

I had my interview as well. Here is the debrief:

Overall, it was a pleasant experience. My interviewer was an EVP of a large-cap US PE shop. He had read my resume ahead of time and, while he had specific questions about my resume, the interview was casual.

His questions were as follows:

1) Tell my why you chose your undergraduate degree
2) Tell me about your extracurriculars
3) Tell me why you chose your first job
4) Tell me why you left
5) Tell me about your industry
6) Tell me what challenges you have faced in your new role
7) Tell me why Chicago Booth

One big thing that made a difference was the energy level he brought. In one of my other interviews, I brought a high degree of energy that my interviewer did not match. Conseqeuntly, we did not build a good rapport.

Overall, a good experience. Booth was kind enough to allow me to provide feedback (which was positive). Again, cheers to Booth (unless they don't let me in - then jeers).

I submitted my application, including recommendations, on Oct 13rd, and recieved "complete" only on the 25th. Someone who is familier with the addmision process has any idea why it taken them so long?
