Essay & Presentation Topics 

Chicago Booth values adventurous inquiry, diverse perspectives, and a collaborative exchange of ideas.  This is us.  Who are you?

Presentation/Essay Guidelines

Be reflective. We’ve learned a lot about you throughout the application, but what more should we know?

Interpret broadly.  “Who are you?” can be interpreted in many different ways.  We encourage you to think critically and broadly about who you are, and how your values, passions and experiences have influenced you.

Determine your own length.  There is no prescribed minimum or maximum length. We trust that you will use your best judgment in determining how long your submission should be, but we recommend that you think strategically about how to best allocate the space.

Choose the format that works for you. You can design your presentation or compose your essay in the format that you feel best captures your response. However, please consider the specific technical restrictions noted below.

Think about you, not us.  Rather than focusing on what you think we want to hear, focus on what is essential for us to know about you. Simply put, be genuine.

Technical Guidelines

File Size: Maximum file size is 16 MB.

Accepted Upload Formats:  Acceptable formats are PDF, Word and Powerpoint.

Multimedia Restrictions: We will be viewing your submission electronically and in full color, but all submissions will be converted to PDF files, so animation, video, music, etc. will not translate over.

Preserve Your Formatting: We strongly recommend converting your piece to a PDF file prior to submitting to ensure that everything you see matches what we see.

Chicago Booth also requires that reapplicants to its program complete the following essay question:

Reapplicant Essay: Upon reflection, how has your perspective regarding your future, Chicago Booth, and/or getting an MBA changed since the time of your last application? (300 words maximum)

More information about the Chicago Booth admissions process is on the school’s website.

MBA エコノミスト ランキング: Top 20 North American MBA Programs

The University of Chicago’s Booth school ranked first. Tuck, Harvard, Wharton, MIT and Stanford also rate in the top 10. You have to look down to 15th to find the highest-placed Canadian MBA, offered by York University in Ontario.

Size and history give American schools big advantages.  Every one of the 245 professors who teach Wharton’s 1,600 MBA students holds a

PhD.

Harvard boasts the best campus in the world, but Columbia, Yale and Kellogg are spending hundreds of millions trying to narrow the gap. 

Few other business schools around the world can compete with such spending. Meanwhile, huge endowments, which are often used to subsidize tuition, help them attract the brightest students. 

Of the 16 schools at which the average GMAT score is over 700, 14 are American. At Stanford the average is 729 (out of a possible 800).

Chicago, Tuck, Virginia and Columbia all rank in the global top-five schools when it comes to opening new career opportunities. 

The highest-paid MBAs in America graduate from Stanford. These can expect an average basic salary of around $130,000.

American schools are also world leaders in costs. Two years at Harvard costs $112,000. And that is by no means the most expensive programme; Columbia, Tuck and Stanford are all costlier. Wharton costs up to $130,000.

Please respond to the following two essay prompts:

a. My favorite part of my work is… (250 words maximum)

Presentation/Essay

The Chicago experience will take you deeper into issues, force you to challenge assumptions, and broaden your perspective. In a four-slide presentation or an essay of no more than 600 words, broaden our perspective about who you are. Understanding what we currently know about you from the rest of the application, what else would you like us to know?

We have set forth the following guidelines:

The content is completely up to you. There is no right, or even preferred, approach to this essay. Feel free to use the software with which you are most comfortable. Acceptable formats for upload in the online application system are PowerPoint, Word, or PDF. However, we suggest converting your file to a PDF to preserve your intended formatting.

There is a strict maximum of four pages (presentation) or 600 words (essay), though you can provide fewer if you choose. All content must fit within four pages (presentation) or 600 words (essay).

The file size is limited to 16 MB.

The document will be viewed electronically, but we cannot support embedded videos, music, hyperlinks, or motion images.

The file will be evaluated on the quality of content and ability to convey your ideas, not on technical expertise.

Myth vs Fact for Chicago Booth

Associate Director of Admissions Joanne Legler devoted a recent post on the Booth Insider Blog to debunking some common myths about the admissions process:

Myth 1: A campus visit is a must if you expect to be admitted.
Myth 2 : You must have a minimum GPA or GMAT/GRE score and have five years of work experience to be considered for admission.
Myth 3 : An interview with a staff member is different than an interview with a student or graduate.
Myth 4 : A letter of recommendation from the CEO of my company/Booth graduate I met once/the governor/the President of the United States would be an amazing addition to my application.
Myth 5 : It's impossible to be admitted during Round Three.
