kmwantstogoschoolI want to stand up and clap and post this on the homepage of my website.
Thank you for vulnerably sharing your experience for the benefit of others with regards to the recruitment process and the research and discipline that you need to invest.
It's my firm belief that business school is for execution not exploration because it's $200,000 and you don't want to get stuck with a huge bill at the end of it with nothing to show for it. There's so much you can do before starting.

We’ve discussed this 750 story threadbare!
As far as advice goes - I think it’s very important for incoming students to talk to people already at Booth and come in with a clear understanding of what they want to recruit for - What is Plan A, what is Plan B etc.
I got super lazy after the admit and did no research, went into Booth thinking I would recruit for some kind of strategy role in a CPG co. And only found out once I got in that a lot of the Corp Strat roles I thought of recruiting for so not sponsor internationals.
I pivoted to consulting last minute and was running blind for the first couple of weeks. The Booth year starts later than other schools and recruiting will hit you very hard very fast. You’re only compounding your problems by not having a plan! So yes research research research and come prepared with a recruiting Plan A and Plan B; the school has enough resources to get you the job you want provided you have a clear idea of what you want.
