Hello all,

Any Round 1 applicants interview with Chicago Booth this past weekend?

Yes, I interviewed this weekend (and looks like you may have as well). I found the experience to be a great one top to bottom. For those who are reading this and wondering, interview day took place on campus in downtown Chicago. It began with a breakfast with prospective students and admissions staff. The next part of the day was a campus tour/interview (order depending on what schedule had been given to you). The interview itself was a one-on-one conversation conducted with an alumnus. My interviewer was very easy to talk to, and I felt as if they were personally invested in hearing my story and adding their own perspective based on my questions. Following that was lunch with current students, alumni, and staff. The afternoon was a master class taught by one of the professors. The class was quite interesting and provided a nice look into the type of lectures (at least for one professor) that would be delivered at Booth. The admissions staff was (and has been) extremely communicative and open.

Good luck to all applying!

Yes, I interviewed this weekend as well and echo your sentiments. It was a great day and the entire process with the administration team has been top notch! Every event I have attended has been well organized and the staff and alumni super approachable.

Definitely hope I am admitted as Booth has become my top choice.

I was admitted to Booth! Quite fortunate to be considered for this prestigious program. Before I make any final decision about whether I will attend, I am awaiting the admission results from the other executive MBA programs that I have applied to. Once I've made my final decision, I will add myself to the tracker. Hoping for good news for all.

Color me paranoid, but I don't want to put that out there quite yet until I've heard back from all schools. Suffice to say I applied to some of the top programs in the country. I'll detail everything (background, schools applied to, etc.) later this month. Apologies for the vagueness, but wanted to respond to you.

As promised, I am checking back in. I was informed in the last couple of days that I was admitted to the Haas Executive program and turned down for the Wharton Executive program. I have not made a final decision between Booth and Haas. Very positive feelings when I went to both places. For now, looking to connect with others who have gotten in to Booth.

I really liked the admission staff at Booth. They were amazingly accommodating when I had a special situation arise. Can't comment on Haas, but awesome schools to choose from. Congratulations.
