when will round 1 of application process start ? also what is topic for this year essay . is covid going to affect entire process ?

Booth hasn't released any details of its application yet. We are still waiting to hear from them but what I have heard from AIGAC is that a lot of schools are going to follow the same application process as last year. So you can see how their application looked last year in the following link.

Virtual Events have not been announced yet. While the application deadlines have been announced, there is no information yet on when applications will open.

For those interested in the social impact and public sector area, Booth has the Civic Scholars Program. What do the forum members think about this program? Will it make your experience and your career options more limited or do you value the focus it provides?

for evening/weekend mba - does anyone know if dinged decisions go out once all the seats are filled or is the decision sent on a rolling basis as well?
