Chicago has launched their own discussion forums using the same software as Wharton’s Student-2-Student boards and the BW Forums. While the interface seems a bit different, the level of activity already suggests that this will be a great resource for Chicago applicants.
With the introduction of these forums, we can once again see that Chicago seems to be borrowing heavily from Rose Martinelli’s exposure to technology initiatives at Wharton.
Here is the email that went out to prospective students to announce the addition of the discussion forums:

Dear X,
We are excited to announce the new Chicago GSB Discussion Forum! This message board provides you contact with current students, staff, alumni and other prospective students. From your first questions about why Chicago GSB may be the right fit for you through submitting your application, this is a great resource for learning about the Chicago MBA and hearing from members of our community.
Click on http://chicagogsb.edu/fulltime/forums/ to see discussions in progress. To post your own questions you will want to complete the Login form. It’s a quick and simple process that is not linked to the application system.
The GSB Discussion Forum is divided into four main areas:
- Getting to Know Chicago GSB
- Applying to Chicago GSB
- Attending Chicago GSB
- Anything but Applications
We look forward to hearing from you on the Chicago GSB Discussion Forum!
