Following prior year trends, I thought I'd open up an area specifically for Admitted Students to exchange information. I just found the "Community Directory" and you can search for people in your current city and see the name of everyone who has been admitted. Good tool if you're interested in meeting up with local admits. You can find the Community Directory either by logging into the portal and clicking on the button on the right or by logging into the admitted students site and using the link on the left.

Thinking ahead about when to resign etc., does anyone know when classes typically start?

Mandatory orientation starts Sept 9, classes begin Sept 26. Yes, that's 2.5 weeks of orientation!!

I believe the orientation period also includes LEAD which is the only mandatory course. May be that's why it's 2.5 weeks?

Did you post in the wrong thread? This one is two years-old.

For anyone who stumbles on this later:
- Yes, orientation is 2.5-3 weeks long, not including optional pre-MBA accounting.
- LEAD starts during orientation and runs through approx. week 8 of class. ~10 weeks total.

Hello guys. I got an email from Booth about employment verification by Re Vera Services. I have a couple of questions for you guys:)

1. I checked my Booth application and only the contact information from my two recommendations were there. How could Re Vera get the contact information of other companies that i worked for? Or Re Vera only checks with the two recommendations?

2. This is for people who are from non-English speaking countries. The people of a small company I worked for do not speak English. Does anyone know whether Re Vera going to call or email to verify employment history? If they call, how do Re Vera deal with language barriers? They have different people (who speak the language) in charge of each different country? I am worried if they call my company and the HR dont speak much English...So worried now:)

Thank you in advance for your answer. Enjoy your summer.

I can't speak to 2, but I think we listed our salary and employment positions and contact details somewhere in the data forms. In any case, if Re vera needs some information, they will contact you directly.

Thank you for your response. I just checked my application again. We did list salary, position and location but no contact information (phone#) for each employment...anyways I guess they will contact us if they need them. Thank you again.

hi I am wondering how does Re Vera contact our recommenders? By phone or email? How about for international applicants?
