The program originally served as a solely undergraduate institution until 1916, when academically oriented research masters and later doctoral-level degrees were introduced. In 1916, the school was renamed the School of Commerce and Administration. Soon after in 1922, the first doctorate program was offered at the school. In 1932, the school was rechristened as the School of Business. The School of Business offered its first Master of Business Administration (MBA) in 1935. A landmark decision was taken by the school at about this time to concentrate its resources solely on graduate programs, and accordingly, the undergraduate program was phased out in 1942. In 1943, the school launched the first ever Executive MBA program. The school was renamed to Graduate School of Business (or more popularly, the GSB) in 1959, a name that it held till 2008. During the later half of the twentieth century, the business school was instrumental in the development of the Chicago School, an economic philosophy focused on free-market, minimal government involvement, due to faculty and student interaction with members of the university's influential Department of Economics. Other innovations by Chicago Booth include initiating the first PhD program in business (1920), founding the first academic business journal (1928), offering the first Executive MBA (EMBA) program (1943), and for offering the first weekend MBA program (1986). Students at the school founded the National Black MBA Association (1972), and Chicago Booth is the only U.S. business school with permanent campuses on three continents: Asia (2000), Europe (1994), and North America (1898). Academic Concentrations: Students in the Full-time MBA, Executive MBA, and Part-time MBA programs can elect to concentrate in one or more areas of study, although some concentrations' required coursework may necessitate schedule modifications for students enrolled in the Part-time program. The various concentrations are: Accounting Analytical Management Analytic Finance Econometrics and Statistics Economics Entrepreneurship Finance General Management Human Resource Management International Business Managerial and Organizational Behavior Marketing Management Operations Management Strategic Management. Research and Learning Centers Accounting Research Center Applied Theory Initiative Becker Center on Chicago Price Theory Center for Decision Research Center for Population Economics Center for Research in Security Prices Chicago Energy Initiative George J. Stigler Center for the Study of the Economy and the State Initiative on Global Markets Milton Friedman Institute for Research in Economics Michael P. Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship James M. Kilts Center for Marketing

I just got an invite! Thank. God. So happy right now.

Could you tell us when you submitted your application? Thank you!

I submitted mine around 3pm (EST) the day before the deadline.

Did you get an email, or did you just check your status online?

An email telling me to check my status, and telling me that I got an invite. If you check your status, you have to log-in and click all the way through to the page where it lists if the materials have been received (so not on the first splash page that appears- still says submitted), and at the top there will be a link saying status update.

The carrier pigeon could explain the delay, don't you think so?

It certainly could. At this point, I am reaching for any hope.

I think it is interesting that Jessikins and BStand got their emails about 15-20 minutes apart. This makes me wonder if they are not sending the emails in bulk. (or if BStand just has a very slow email server)

Hello, all:

I just found this forum. As for the slides question, anybody knows if the notes below the slides will be printed out for adcom to read or just the Powerpoint slides themselves?

Thanks ahead! It really confused me after reading the requirements

In a powerpoint, you can add notes below slides that will print out in a certain view. I do not think the Chicago admissions people see any notes someone may have added. Though I could be wrong.

Thank you very much! I worked on Powerpoint team before so I was puzzled that nobody mentioned notes which could be printed out as well.
