Could you describe your average class experience and how the students interact with the professor. The school seems to encourage a lot of debate during classes as the website seems to really stress this point. How collaborative are the students at the GSB?
Also, having the flexibility to take any core classes within a given core dicipline, do you feel that there is enough guidance to help you decide on which courses are best suited for your career goals?
Thanks,

Hi mlchang,
I have not started my classes yet. But what I know is that the GSB professors are quite accessible. Some of the famous ones even keep their doors open to each and every student in the school.
The school makes a stress on the analytical preparation of its students which suggests a lot of discussions. The correlation between the lecture-based and case-based courses is about 50/50.
The students I know seem to be collaborative but probably a little bit individualistic (effect of the flexible curriculum and lack of cohorts?). I am quite individualistic too but will do my best to have an extensive collaboration experience in the class. I am sure. there are many students with similar targets in Chicago GSB.
As for the flexible curriculam, the school gives you a mentor (2nd year student) to guide you through the system. Also, you can ask some professor to do the same or go to any other 2nd years with similar background and get their advice.
But on the whole, all this flexibility only means that you can choose the level of difficulty for your program. That means that if you want to specialize, say, in finance and marketing you will need to take a certain group of courses to fulfill these two specialisations. Outside that, you can decide to go to the law or medical school and study whatever you want.

But I have no idea whether Indian Americans are placed in the same "pool" as Indian citizens. 
I even travelled up to Kellogg from UoC to save money... of course, that took 2.5 hours, so it's not recommended unless you have a lot of time.
