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.

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 -

Well I decided to hit the gym after work and had an unknown number missed call (11.23 Chicago time). Unfortunately I've got no voicemail function on my phone. Could be Chicago adcom. Could equally be the cable company or some such! Oh well, find out tomorrow I guess.

Congrats to the lucky folks who got calls!

You have a phone with no voicemail? What the heck kind of service is that?

My interviewer came from Australia and told me that she didn't get a call because of the time difference. I'm on the west coast, however, so I guess it's over for me. Back to work on R2

I have mixed feelings. On one hand is what they have told maddee plus the fact that we have only 11 reported admits on gmatclub and I believe there should be more. On the other is the fact that last year they made all the calls on the same day.

I guess we will get to know tomorrow morning. I will hit the gym as well and run six miles so that I am not left with any energy to think about this anymore.

Yeah, I had a feeling Chicago would be real tough this year with the added number of apps, and the over-matriculation last year. They likely reduced the number of offers for more people this year. Oh well, time to keep trucking with the remaining apps.

Well I decided to hit the gym after work and had an unknown number missed call (11.23 Chicago time). Unfortunately I've got no voicemail function on my phone. Could be Chicago adcom. Could equally be the cable company or some such! Oh well, find out tomorrow I guess.

Congrats to the lucky folks who got calls!

You have a phone with no voicemail? What the heck kind of service is that?

Rhyme, Britguy is in pain...it's not the time to slap him for having a crappy service...

oh come on, you can't appreciate the hilarity of no voicemail during admit calls?

Voicemail with "good news" at 10:53 this morning. Haven't been able to get back in touch yet.

Bateman - I'm curious. How do you explain a ding at Kellogg but acceptance at Booth/HBS? Is that a bad interview? Did they smell the app as a back-up school? This process baffles me.

Right when I had begun to accept my fate... hope springs again. Congrats sapphireka!

He/she is in Australia. They probably just had somebody wait to call him/her so that it would be a decent hour there. I don't think we should take it as hope for us Americans . . . I'm afraid the fat lady has sung. In this case that fat lady is Rose, who is actually quite skinny, but God can she sing!

The tiny sliver of hope I still harbor in my heavy heart is that only 11 people out of 28 interviewed have reported admits. Then again, "reported" is the operative word here.
