Did you apply to the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business Round One this year? Tyler Smith, an Assistant Director of Admissions at Booth, has written a post titled “Behind the Scenes of Round One,” where he provides crucial details of Booth’s admissions process for Round One applicants, including Booth’s timeline for Round One interview notifications.
The Admissions Committee at Booth is currently reviewing Round One applications. Applications are read in random order and interview decisions will be made on a rolling basis. Booth will notify candidates whether they have been invited back for an interview beginning in mid-October, and all candidates should receive notice of their status by October 24th.
The Booth Admissions Committee strongly encourages all applicants who are invited to interview to come to Booth for their interview. The on-campus interview gives applicants another chance to explore the Booth community and learn more about the school. However, the school understands that not everyone can travel to Chicago, so they are also making alternate interview arrangements available in cities across the world. On-campus interviews are conducted by Booth second-year student fellows, and off-campus interviews are conducted by second-year students or alumni.
After the interviews, the interviewers will submit reports to the Admissions Committee, and the Admissions Committee will review the applications again to make final decisions about candidates. Booth’s final admissions decisions will be released at 9:00 AM CST on December 18th.
Best of luck to everyone who is applying to Booth this round!
