Don't worry so much, Look at last year, 34/42 (81%) had interviews. Even Round 1 had higher than 50%.

When did your applications say complete, I am just curious about this 10 day rule people say. I was complete on the 27th of January and its been more than 10 days. Thanks

All,

If any of you are coming to campus to interview and would like to grab a coffee, just PM me. I can't promise I'm free all days, but I'm always happy to try and make time.


rhyme, would you any stats/info on whether any more interview calls can be expected?
is it time to give up hope?

thanx

I have zero "formal" insight but I know they are still reading apps, so no, don't loose hope. I saw a friend with a dozen just two days ago.

rhyme: Do you know how they are evaluating the applications...first come first serve, alphabetically, etc?..I understand you might not have a detailed insight. I am getting to the point where I am beginning to wake up in the middle of the night.

Date that your app went complete is a pretty good indicator. However, it still is variable to the speed of the readers etc

Interviewed on Monday. The facilities are outstanding and the students are very friendly and approachable. I honestly have fallen in love with Chicago Booth.

Absolutely!

1. Why do you want an MBA?
2. What are your short-term and long-term plans?
3. What are you passionate about?
4. What do you think is the role of a leader/manager?
5. What will you be active in at Chicago Booth (outside the classroom)?

I love the building and People. That was the same feeling I got when I was there for GSB LIVE.

Absolutely. I think most of the people I talked to that were there interviewing felt the same way. I love how Booth has students go to the admissions office to talk to the applicants interviewing that day. I loved every one of those students. I talked to one of them for an hour, and she happened to have a lot of the same professional interests as me.

All in all, they know what they're doing and know how to make people feel welcome. Very professional operation.
