How did you choose your most recent job/internship and how did this experience influence your future goals? What about the Chicago Booth MBA makes you feel it is the next best step in your career at this time? (750-1000 words) 1a. FOR REAPPLICANTS ONLY: Upon reflection, how has your thinking regarding your future, Chicago Booth, and/or getting an MBA changed since the time of your last application? (250 words) 2. Please choose one of the following (500 - 750 words): Describe a time when you wish you could have retracted something you said or did. When did you realize your mistake and how did you handle the situation? -or- Describe a time when you were surprised by feedback that you received. What was the feedback and why were you surprised? Slide Presentation We have asked for a great deal of information throughout this application and now invite you to tell us about yourself. In four slides or less please answer the following question: What have you not already shared in your application that you would like your future classmates to know about you? We have set forth the following guidelines for you to consider when creating your presentation. * The content is completely up to you. There is no right or wrong approach to this essay. * Feel free to use the software you are most comfortable with. Acceptable formats for upload in the online application system are PowerPoint or PDF. * There is a strict maximum of 4 slides, though you can provide fewer than 4 if you choose. * Slides will be printed and added to your file for review, therefore, flash, hyperlinks, embedded videos, music, etc. will not be viewed by the committee. You are limited to text and static images to convey your points. Color may be used. * Slides will be evaluated on the quality of content and ability to convey your ideas, not on technical expertise or presentation. * You are welcome to attach a document containing notes if you feel a deeper explanation of your slides is necessary. However the hope is the slide is able to stand alone and convey your ideas clearly. You will not be penalized for adding notes but you should not construct a slide with the intention of using the notes section as a consistent means of explanation. Optional Essay If there is any important information that is relevant for your candidacy that you were unable to address elsewhere in the application, please share that information here. 2010 Deadlines Round 1 Deadline: October 14, 2009 Mid-Decision Date: November 11, 2009 Decision date: December 22, 2009 Round 2 Deadline: January 6, 2010 Mid-Decision Date: February 17, 2010 Decision date: March 24, 2010 Round 3 Deadline: March 10, 2010 Mid-Decision Date: April 21, 2010 Decision date: May 12, 2010 Previous Year Threads 2009 -

NYC here, no call, last name w a k, but my gf (we applied jointly) has a last name with one of the last letters of the alphabet. Neither of us got a call - double ding!

Still holding out for the 7pm Central supposed timeline, but I don't know if I believe it. If they haven't called EITHER of us, it's probably a ding both.

Back to the working life!

I got an early call this morning (830 Pacific Time), and was admitted! I was a waitlisted Round 1 applicant and had forgotten that tomorrow was the decision day. What a pleasant surprise!

Just when I was set on attending UCLA, Chicago has to give me something to think about. Anyone else choosing between Booth and UCLA?

Congrats to all who are in. GL to all who haven't heard yet. I got a call the following day and I'm in Oz - so GL to any Australians/NZ'ers still waiting! Are there any???

Meanwhile, I just have to say, (in response to latammc's geek shout-out), did anyone else see the quote from rhyme about "Hahaha, that would be awesome. Could I have a cape and mask and all that cool stuff too?" and immediately think "I put on my robe and wizard hat" (bash.org)

Also @ Bangalore Kid: "They're already done with Asia ??!! Damn are these guys Mongol Horsemen or what ??"

By my math they have made 81.92% of calls.

If there are decimal places involved, it must be true!

Today GC has been awesome. Quotes from people were hilarious. I just couldnt get out of the forum...yes I am super geeky, maybe that's why I LOL with The big bang theory!

GL to all who have not received news today, chances are you will receive the email with good news directly...

I'm in!!!! Received the call at 12:30 eastern time. Located in Latam (deep south). Feeling sorry for those without calls... specially Guillermo in Brazil (at least you're in Kellogg!)
This system of calls is awful. They should just give the news all at once to everyone online.
Once again, good luck to all.
