I held 3 positions with the same company, 2 were very similar with just increased responsibilities and 1 was very different. On my resume, I lumped the first 2 together and broke out the 3rd separately, so it was:

20XX - 20XX Company X
Job #3
- blah
- blah
- blah

20XX - 20XX Company X
Job #1 / Job #2
- blah
- blah
- Promoted from Job #1 to Job #2 on Month Day, Year

Primarily I did this to save space, since breaking out #1 and #2 would've put me over 1 page, but also because there would've been a lot of repetition between #1 and #2. I broke it out the same way on the application data forms.

In terms of the "why you're leaving": for the job I held when I was applying, I just wrote that I currently held that position, rather than saying I was leaving for an MBA.

I went last year. I think the description covers it. It is an informal gathering at a bar with current students and prospectives. It is a good way to get material for your essays so try to think of questions before you go.

Ouch, a Booth Live event the day after classes start? I believe they start on 9/24 if I'm not mistaken.

I went to the first Booth Live last year. Overall was a good experience, but you do not sit in a real class since classes just started the day before instead they have a mock class.

I do not know what value it will add to reapplicants.

Two questions about the application.

1). Did you guys waive the right to review the LORs? I noticed that it was an option to waive that right, I was curious if its advantageous to do so...

2). Some of the essay questions refer to it as Chicago GSB, however I know the name changed to Booth...do they prefer that we refer to it as GSB in our applications or Booth?
