B.S GPA - 8.4/10
M.S GPA - 3.9/4.0
GMAT - 660
Work Exp - 8 yrs by spring 2019.
Current title - Sr.Tech Specialist - Electric/Hybrid Powertrain R&D group @ Cummins Inc.

Nice! I was thinking of also requesting for an expedited decision after hearing from Kellogg but decided to ask Kellogg to extend the deadline for my decision instead.

I'm curious why you applied to Kellogg for the winter quarter and Booth to the spring?

I interviewed on the 9th. didn't hear anything back either. Let me know when you hear back. Good luck!!

You too! When did you submit your app?

Actually, I lied... I submitted my app on 10/9 and interviewed on 10/22. Really hope to get in because I think Booth is the perfect fit for me and I LOVE Chicago. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I just got the dreaded email. I was rejected from Booth unfortunately. Best of luck to all the rest

I am sorry to hear that :/. Are you going to Kellogg?

Most likely I am, yes.

It's truly disappointing that you didn't get in, but I am sure you will enjoy Kellogg as much as you would have enjoyed Booth. I wish you the best and keep us posted once you make the final call! Good luck with your future endeavors.

I got into both Kellogg and Booth but ended up choosing Kellogg. It all depends what you want out of the program. Don't just look at the #1 vs #6 ranking. Unless you're targetting something in finance, both will take you where you want to go.

I got the call!! I will start in Spring Quarter!!!
Best of luck to every one else applying!

Does anyone know the acceptance rate for Booth's PT program?

They don't publish acceptance rate for PT programs. Given your GMAT/GPA, I don't see how you wouldn't get in unless you lack significant WE.

I have a question about the application section under "Motivation and Goals". There are two questions:

What is your short-term career goal? (250 word max)
What is your long-term post-MBA goal? (250 word max)

These are non-essay questions, and are short answer questions. I am wondering whether most people get close to the 250 word max, or put a simple answer of a few sentences. I feel like I could succinctly answer these in 2-3 sentences each and be < 100 words, but I could also put a lot more background to get closer to the max if they are looking for a more detailed response. I was surprised they give you this much room, because that's pretty close to the essay lengths (300 and 400 words).

Any thoughts on these questions and the level of detail in response?

Not sure about others but my plan is to keep it between 150 to 175 words in my application.
