Congrats to all!

And guys, what exactly is the admit weekend? Is it recommended to visit anyway or is it aimed more at people who did not visit campus? Wondering if it's worth flying all the way from Russia.

Did any of you get an e-mail? I'm just going through what's there in the application. And I'm super overwhelmed by the flood of resources that just came online! I didn't know where to start so I just closed it all down to come back later. Haha.

Guys congrats on your admits. I bet it must be really exciting.

I am drafting essay for R2 Booth. Anyone willing to chime in for this question? I would really appreciate.

I am deep diving into my personal side while trying to answer the essay question. Still the essay would include few professional experience as well. However, the story would be driven more by personal aspects. Is it ok to focus on personal aspects more on the essay, if it fits well? In addition to some glimpse of professional side in the essay, I will anyways be answering those short term and long term goal sections.

Congratulations to all of you on getting accepted! I just finished my first quarter at Booth and the experience has been great so far. I would highly recommend going to First Day if you can swing it. Even if you've visited campus before, First Day is really the best way to get to know the school better and determine if its the right fit for you. I was deciding between schools and after First Day it was clear that Booth was the place for me.

I didn't see the due date for the submission of admission response form. However, deposit is due Feb 12, 2016. So basically, I guess you can accept the offer first, input requested personal information, and confirm your acceptance through deposit later.

Yep, it's in checklist. - Thats a page you get access to after being admitted. I can't give you URL right now, but just login to student portal, it should be there.

Mine has only a red cross and awaiting status for the enrollment deposit. All other forms are green check marks, including transcripts I uploaded for my application.
