University of Chicago Booth School of Business Admissions Office Shares Updates for Round One Applicants

Chicago Booth

The University of Chicago Booth School of Business Round One deadline was last week, and in a post this week to the Booth Insider blog, Associate Director of Admissions Carrie Lydon provided an update for candidates wondering what to expect now that they have hit “submit.”

For the next few weeks, Lydon and her colleagues will be busy reviewing applications to assess fit with Chicago Booth and finalize interview invitation decisions. Check your email inbox on Halloween – October 31st – to see if it holds a treat, otherwise known as an invitation to interview. After 9 a.m. CT that day, all Round One applicants will see one of two decisions, Lydon writes, “invited to interview” or “denied.” (You can also check your status online via the online application system.)

Applicants who are invited to interview will then receive additional instructions about how to set it up. All Round One interviews must take place between Monday, November 5th, and Friday, November 30th.

“This year we are excited to announce that in addition to the Chicago campus interview option, we will also offer onsite interviews at our London campus, and at our University Center in Beijing,” Lydon wrote. And if interviewing at one of these campuses isn’t possible, candidates can also choose to interview in cities around the globe with Booth alumni interviewers, she added.

For additional details about each of the Chicago Booth interview options, check out Lydon’s post.

Best of luck to everyone on Halloween! If you do get invited to interview, be sure to check out the Clear Admit Chicago Booth Interview Guide, which provides sample questions, strategic analysis and preparation tips, as well as first-hand interview accounts and campus visit and accommodation details. And don’t forget that you can share your interview experience and learn from those of others on the Clear Admit Wiki.
