I am in a similar situation, for some reason they couldn't find an alumni in the city of my residence, so I'm thinking about asking for a Skype interview as otherwise I'm not sure I'll be on time.

I emailed them today and asked for an interview in any city in Kazakhstan, Turkey and Russia, and in Tbilisi (Georgia) and Dubai (UAE). I hope there will be any available alumni in one of these locations, so I can have an interview in person, but if not, I'll ask for a skype interview. Phone interview is the worst scenario, in my opinion.

Да, но мне конкретно написали, что по телефону будет принимать admissions officer.

kvazar translation: "Yes, but I was told, interviews over the phone are conducted by admission officer."

You are right, skype interviews are conducted by staff, this is an excerpt from an old transcrip of chat with admissions:
Quote:
Generally speaking, we try to provide an alumni interview when possible. However, for applicants in areas where we do not have alumni we will set up a phone or skype interview with staff.

I am in a similar situation, for some reason they couldn't find an alumni in the city of my residence, so I'm thinking about asking for a Skype interview as otherwise I'm not sure I'll be on time.

This is super strange! I know there are at least 2 people who had an interview with an alum in Moscow this week ...
What could possibly prevent the same alumni from interviewing more people? Besides, I'm pretty sure there are more alums in Moscow.

After I've sent an e-mail, saying that I can broaden the geography of an interview, I was matched with an alumna in Moscow! Super excited now! Thanks for your comments, guys.

Hello all,
Kindly share your R1 application experience. Some start-off points :
1. Criteria you considered essential while selecting images for essays - did that work? if no, any tips for future applicants?
2. format of essay - text or not - did that work?

Thanks!

FROM The Booth Experience: Crossing Cultural Lines at the Diwali Cruise
The South Asian Business Group’s (SABG) Diwali cruise, which set sail Friday Oct. 16th, has become an annual Booth tradition. Indian food, choreographed dancing, colorful saris and kurtas, open bar, and a scenic cruise around Lake Michigan are all hallmarks  of the event which celebrates the Hindu festival of lights.

FROM Booth Admissions Blog: Honoring the Legacy of Dr. and Mrs. Fogel

The 33rd Annual Fogel Dinner took place on October 14th at Chicago Booth’s downtown Gleacher Center campus. The evening saw more than 60 people come together for good conversation and great food to mark this tradition of community gathering.


This event honors the late Dr. and Mrs. Robert Fogel for their contributions and support towards a strong and diverse community at Booth. Dr. Fogel was a Nobel Prize winning professor in economics and Mrs. Enid Fogel was Chicago Booth’s first African-American Associate Dean of Students.

In 1982, the Fogels began welcoming new students to the university by inviting underrepresented minorities at Booth into their home for a fun evening of food, wisdom and laughter. It’s a tradition we carry on in order to honor both our diverse community and the legacy that Dr. and Mrs. Fogel have created for generations of past, present, and future students.


The event gives first- and second-year students a chance to mingle, find out more about one another's backgrounds, and share ideas on things like recruiting and life at Booth. One first-year student noted she was impressed by the influence the Fogels had on our community and appreciated that the couple remains recognized for their wisdom in promoting diversity within our institution.


Joined by alumni, staff and students, Jessica Jaggers, Senior Director of Diversity Affairs, began the evening by reminding everyone of the Fogels, and how their goal of creating a celebration of inclusion is a collective responsibility that continues to bring us together.



Though they are no longer with us, Dean Sunil Kumar reassured us in his opening remarks that this event will continue to be strongly supported by the institution and that their legacy will continue to shine.  We will always remember them for their achievements, vision, and the encouragement that they offered to us all.




All the best,

Eddie

Is anyone familiar with the timing of final decisions? For example, do all interviewed prospective students receive a decision on the Decision Deadline? Or will some decisions trickle in slowly before that date? Thanks!

My on-campus interviewer told me all decisions would come on the day of the deadline.

Here are some questions my interviewer asked:

Why a Booth MBA?
What can you bring to Booth?
Tell me about a time you dealt with ambiguity.
What kind of leader are you?
Tell me about a time you had to deal with multiple relationships/convince others.

Overall, everyone interviewing seemed to say that the interviews were conversational.

Anybody get the Chicago Booth Live invite? Is it selective or do they just spam the email? I can't make it (at Tuck for the Diversity Conference) but I'm just curious if there is some selection there.

Had my on-campus interview. Questions were fairly straightforward, and the environment low-pressure.

* Walk me through your CV
* Short-term and long-term goals
* Why MBA / Booth
* Tell me about the roles you played as a team member
* Tell me of a time you had to change your opinion
* Tell me about a time you failed
* A couple of questions about my non-work interests

My interviewer also said decisions would be released on line on Dec 10th.

Hope this helps.

FROM The Booth Experience: An Intro to My Booth Experience (so far)
One of the great things about Booth is the flexibility. That comes in many forms. You’ve probably heard about the flexible curriculum, the “no required classes”, etc. Another great piece of Booth flexibility is Booth’s joint degree program, something that really drew me to Booth.  For more about Booth’s joint degree programs, visit the program’s … Continue reading An Intro to My Booth Experience (so far) →

Hey guys! I got a quick question regarding the interview.

I was invited for an interview and chose on-campus interview. But since I'm flying from out of state and due to work issues (I cannot leave work for more than 2 days), I was not able to sign up for any campus visits. Would this affect my application??

I saw most people do campus tour with the interview, and I am worried if I am the only one who does not go on the tour....

39% of the Gmatclub applicants last year were invited to interview compared to 32% this year. Are the invitations done? If not, the difference would be quite substantial.

FROM Booth Admissions Blog: Building MBA Connections

I’ve always believed that the most important aspect of any experience is the alignment of values and the company of like-minded individuals, and even more so when it comes to deciding where to attend business school.

It’s easy to portray the Booth culture and community to prospective students because I full-heartily believe in it. Effectively representing a company culture has been a vital part of my previous recruiting career, and it’s no different within the admissions team at Booth. For several years, I’ve recruited students from top MBA programs into summer internships and full-time positions at A.T. Kearney and American Express. As a recruiter, I was constantly connecting MBA students with team members across the organization to facilitate relationships in which both parties could learn about one another and asses if there is a connection.

Our goal is to share with you what differentiates Booth from other top business schools. Assessing your fit with Booth’s culture is an integral part of the selection and decision process. You need to experience Booth through discussions and interactions with our community in order to truly understand it. In my role, I get the pleasure of continuously meeting prospective students, current students and Booth alumni at events across the globe. I have the ability to assist in building connections through students and alumni so that prospective students have the ability to experience the Booth community and all it has to offer.

I’m constantly inspired by my interactions with our students, alumni, faculty, and staff that are contributing to our community’s culture every day. I’m honored to share Booth’s values with you, and I look forward to sharing more through additional blogs and events!

All the best,

Kim

I got that too. I think the emails are sent to all interviewees.
I cannot make it either. The invite came so late, I had scheduled my interview at a earlier time and cannot change my trip.

Hi guys, I have one question here.

When my alumnus interviewer submits the interview report to Booth, will I receive an email notifying that? or will my application status be changed?
