As I am reviewing my application, I noticed a glaring omission on my part. I work very closely with a startup company, but I do not see a place to necessarily address this. I have mentioned it in essays, but I don't think it would be wise to use words on explaining the start-up and what it is/what we do. It is not a full-time position for me, so I don't think it would be appropriate to place it in the work experience section (the application specifically says list full-time post college work).
Could I put it in the activities section? The guidance provided states:
"Chicago Booth strongly values community involvement, and we know it comes in many different forms. Tell us how you have been involved in your community.
Please list public service, extracurricular, and college activities."
I think this might fall under the "extracurricular" arm of the instructions? It just seems strange that I am alluding to something in my essays that I don't reference anywhere else.

I'm don't know whether you can justify it as extracurricular (but not sure of the circumstances). Have you got it in your resume? That might be a good place to put it.
