Hey c00|guy,

Thanks for starting this thread. I applied to UChicago Booth in Round 1 (for their full-time MBA program) and was invited to interview day before yesterday (Nov 3rd). Since I am based in the US, I will be attending the interview on-campus mid November.

My Profile

- GMAT: 750 / AWA: 6.0 / Engineering Undergrad from a Top 10 university in the US with a 4.0/4.0 GPA.

- Extracurriculars: Was the Head Boy at high school, Student Government President at college. Nonprofit leadership (at the Board level) for two local west coast profits.

- Work Ex: Started out as a Program Manager in a leading F100 Tech company (in its Telecom business group) but shifted focus to Sales & Marketing. Currently in a part-consulting/part-biz dev role, working primarily with clients in the Financial Services/Healthcare/Airline sectors. Total Industry Work Ex 4.5 years by Fall 2011.

- International: Well pretty much launched my career in the US having been there for the past 7 years. Have worked time-to-time with satellite teams in China, Switzerland and of course, India.

Where else have you applied besides UChicago?

Hey dude,

Congratulations on the invite! I too got an invite from Booth and am planning to visit campus for an on-campus i/v on the 16th of November. When are you planning to be in Chicago?

Cheers!

I got an interview email as well. Living in India

I think i'll have to do a phone interview, which kinda sucks
Does anybody have some ideas about it
