Chicago (Booth) 2013 - Calling All Applicants

Also waitlisted. So far:

1 ding (HBS)
3 waitlist
1 acceptance

Round 3 applicant--all of these waitlists really underline, I believe, the importance of submitting your application in R1 or R2!

Guys, I think at this point they waitlist everybody who was waitlisted before...not sure it means anything...

rejected

WL R2 WL R3. For others on the summer list, what will you do?

WL! I was expecting a ding. I was already plotting my strategy to reapply next year. I guess this game is not over yet!

Waitlisted. Going to hope for the best.

I was calling the ding all kinds of names, while waiting for the email this morning, like...dingsimous, dingsonian, dingalingali, etc. These names were playing in my head. Congruts to those who got in, and for you my fellow WLs, i guess it's going to be a long summer.

Just got double waitlisted. Did anyone even get dinged this round? And, what are the chances of someone getting in from the summer waitlist? I guess our only hope now is the June 1 deposit deadline.

I don't get this WL. What does it mean throughout the summer. When does the term start? WHy are they so vague?
Get some backbone! Jees! Ding me or Accept me!

Waitlisted again.....its all numbers game now.

does anyone one when the program starts? i can't seem to find an academic calendar online. thanks

My friend got admitted and it starts around 28 September....exactly 4 months from now.

Congrats on the admit. One of my fellow Net Impact co-chairs is very interested in education and will be interning in the sector this summer. Also Booth Ed was just approved to be a student group for next year and he was leading the charge. PM me if you'd like me to put you in touch with him.

WL R2 WL R3

After doing all the needful and more. I had an opportunity to speak to admissions a few weeks ago and they warned me that another waitlist was a possibility. Not sure what that means.

I was told that in the case of a summer waitlist they would try to evaluate the class by June/July and have a final decision, but there was also the remote possibility that a few would be deferred through Aug.

Applied R2,
WL R2 and WL R3.
Looks like almost everyone continued to be waitlisted through the summer.
This is going to be one long long long summer. Anyone submitting any additional docs?

that yale loan forgiveness, man. it's an interesting dilemma. i'm curious to know what role in education you're hoping to be in when you graduate b-school.

personally, i'd first evaluate which school i liked better during my interactions - but finance is definitely in the top 3 factors to consider.

Hi Guys,

I need everyone's opinion. I got into Booth off the waitlist but have already put down a deposit at Ross. I want to do healthcare consulting after school. What initially drew me to Michigan was the school spirit, Ann Arbor, and the friendly student body. I visited Booth for my interview and met a couple nice people, but don't think i got a good feel for the student body. I am worried that Booth is a bit of a commuter school and that I won't get a tight knit community feel. Can any current Booth students speak to that? I know many business school students live in a few buildings across Chicago, so that might help the lack of community that often comes with urban campuses. I am so torn. I do not have a scholarship at Michigan, so cost is not really a concern for me. I will be going into a lot of debt either way

Also, does the flexibility of the curriculum at all hinder the social life at Booth? A lot of schools have cohorts, so you develop relationships with people pretty quickly because you are taking classes with the same people. Anyone have an opinion on that? Thank you for all your help in advance!
