Hey guys,
I'm trying to reconcile Booth's reputation as more of a quant jock/geeky school with their presentation and application materials. There seems to be a rather strong focus on EC's and community activity in their materials and their recommendations even go so far as to suggest that your second recommendation be from a nonprofessional source. Understanding that few top business school students are really "geeky" in traditional sense of having absolutely no social skills, what is the reality here?
The school/courses does seem quant heavy. But there are also many well-rounded inviduals, such as rhyme.
You should visit there if you have a chance.
yes, I should have mentioned that all the members here that are going to booth or really liked booth appear to be both accomplished and friendly and not necessarily of the quant jock mold. Just trying to find the middle ground here, I definitely intend to visit booth as I feel I discarded them too early in my search this year.
