Application Checklist

Ready to start your application to the Full-Time MBA Program? Here's what you'll need to submit. Joint-degree programs require a special application process; please refer to your program of interest for details.

To submit the online application, you'll need to register and create a username and password. The online system includes step-by-step instructions for completing the application and submitting all required materials. You don't have to complete the application in one sitting, and you may edit your application as often as necessary prior to submission.

Your application must be submitted prior to 11:59 p.m. CST on the day of the deadline in order to be considered for a particular application round. Applications must include all required online and mailed-in materials.

All candidates are required to submit responses to the following two questions:

1. How will a Booth MBA help you achieve your immediate and long-term post-MBA career goals? (Minimum 250 words, no maximum.)
2. An MBA is as much about personal growth as it is about professional development. In addition to sharing your experience and goals in terms of career, we'd like to learn more about you outside of the office. Use this opportunity to tell us something about who you are… (Minimum 250 words, no maximum.)

The following question is optional:

• Is there any unclear information in your application that needs further explanation? (Maximum 300 words.)

Reapplicants must answer the following question:

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

Response Guidelines: 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.

Format: Submissions must be entered into the text box provided in the application.

Your resume should highlight the professional and volunteer activities that make you a good candidate for the Full-Time MBA Program.

Please submit letters of recommendation from two individuals who know you well and can offer specific examples of your performance at and contributions to an organization. Avoid choosing recommenders based on their title or status. We are more concerned with content and substance rather than reputation.

One letter of recommendation should come from a supervisor. We are looking for objectivity in the letter, and we want to hear from someone who can assess both your strengths and your weaknesses.

• We prefer to hear from a current supervisor, although we understand that this may not be possible. If you are unable to ask your current supervisor, please explain the circumstances in the optional essay.
• If you work for a family business or own your own company, please submit a letter from a client or outside party who does business with you and can provide an objective assessment.

The other letter can come from another professional contact or from someone who has worked with you in an organization or club, or on a volunteer project. This letter can offer a different perspective on your skill sets outside of your professional environment.

• We have no preference regarding who supplies your second letter of recommendation.
• Our only guideline is that it should add new and valuable insight to your candidacy.

How to Submit Letters of Recommendation

The recommendation form is part of the online application. You will be prompted to provide the names and email addresses of your recommenders, and we'll send them an email directing them to the online form. Chicago Booth does not accept letters of recommendation via mail or fax.

What We Ask

We ask recommenders to complete a skills assessment for each applicant and to submit a letter answering the following questions:

• How do the applicant's performance, potential, background, or personal qualities compare with those of other well-qualified individuals in similar roles? Please provide specific examples.
• Please describe the most important piece of constructive feedback you have given the applicant. Please detail the circumstances and the applicant's response.

Your educational record is an important part of your application for admission. You'll need to submit transcripts from all postsecondary educational institutions that you have attended.

Unofficial Transcripts

As part of your application, please submit unofficial scans of your transcripts, taking care to submit both sides of each one. Don't send official transcripts until you receive an offer of admission, because they will not be added to your file.

Official Transcripts

Upon admission, you must submit an official transcript from every university, college, or graduate institution that you have attended.

Official records are defined as original documents issued by the institution and bearing the actual (not photocopied) signature of the registrar and the institutional seal.

• Any records issued only once by institutions should be photocopied and certified as official copies, either by school officials or legal authorities such as embassies or a notary public.
• Please do not send the original of an academic record that cannot be replaced.

All records must show:

• The dates of enrollment, courses taken, units of credit, your grades, marks or ratings in each subject, and, if available, your rank in the total class or group.
• The institutional grading scale or other standards of evaluation, including minimum passing and failing marks, and definition of grades between them (should also be included on or with official records).

If academic records and diplomas are not issued in English by the institution, you must submit both the official record and an authorized English translation.

Chicago Booth reserves the right to review the academic records of all applicants and determine whether the academic credentials presented from a non-US institution qualify for consideration. All degrees must be from an institution recognized by the country's department or ministry of education.

You can self-report your GMAT or GRE scores at the time you apply. We will allow applicants to submit interim at-home or online proctored test scores as made available by GMAC and ETS. We trust the integrity of these testing organizations and should you opt to participate in the at-home testing option, your scores will be reviewed in the same manner as those taken in a traditional testing center, and will continue to be valid for five years.

We will not need your official test scores until you have been admitted and have accepted our offer of admission. To make your official test scores available to us, please send your GMAT scores using code H9X-9F-34 or your GRE scores using code 0685. Scores are valid for five years.

If you're an international student and English is not your native language, you'll need to submit proof of English proficiency by taking one of the following exams:

• Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
• The academic version of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS)
• Pearson Test of English (PTE)

Please send your TOEFL scores to Booth using our test code: 1832-02. Your scores are valid for two years. For details, see International Applicants. We will allow applicants to submit interim at-home or online proctored test scores as these organizations make them available. We trust the integrity of these testing organizations and should you opt to participate in the at-home testing option, your scores will be reviewed in the same manner as those taken in a traditional testing center, and will continue to be valid for two years.

The $250 application fee is due when you submit your application.

Begin Your MBA Journey

The first step in joining our transformational Full-Time MBA Program is to apply for admission.

Start Your Application

After You Hit Submit

You've submitted your application for admission. Now what? Here's what to expect.

Interviews are granted on an invitation-only basis after evaluation of a submitted application. Candidates invited to interview will be contacted by the mid-decision date with instructions on how to schedule an interview.

• Interviews are held on campus, in a location convenient for you, or virtually.
• If you receive an invitation, you will have one interview, conducted by a current student, graduate, or admissions staff member.
• All interviews, regardless of who conducts them, receive equal weight in the evaluation process.
• An interview is required for admission. However, completing an interview does not guarantee admission.

Admissions decisions are posted in the Application Status section of the online application system.

Decisions fall into three categories:

• Admission. Applicants are admitted to the program. Admitted students will receive additional information via the admissions packet mailed to all admitted students.
• Waitlist. Students who are not admitted for the current round may be considered for subsequent rounds. Waitlisted candidates can expect to remain on the waitlist at least until the next round of decisions is released.
  • We do not rank order our waitlist.
  • We cannot offer feedback to candidates who are on the waitlist.
  • Applicants on the waitlist are welcome to send updated materials only if there have been developments since the time of the initial application.
  • Should the Admissions Committee require additional materials, candidates will be notified.
• Denied Admission. Unfortunately, we are unable to admit the vast majority of applicants in any given year. Denied decisions are released at the mid-decision and final decision notification dates. All decisions are final.

Information for Reapplicants

If you were not admitted (or if you declined an offer of admission), you may reapply in the next academic year. Students who are successful in the reapplication process are competitive in the current year's applicant pool and have demonstrated growth through career progress, academic preparation, community involvement, or self-awareness.

You are considered a reapplicant if you submitted an application for admission to Booth's Full-Time MBA Program within the past two academic years. If you applied to the Full-Time MBA Program more than two years ago, or if you applied to another Booth MBA program, please apply as a new applicant.

• Reapplicants are required to fully complete a new application for enrollment.
• Your prior application is kept on file for two years. The Admissions Committee will review your prior application alongside your newest application in order to assess your growth and/or any changes that have taken place since the time of your last application.
• While the Admissions Committee will review your prior application, your new application should include all information relevant to your candidacy and be able to stand on its own as complete, independent of your prior application.

• You will need to submit two new letters of recommendation.
• You may use the same recommenders as with your previous application.
• If you use a prior recommender, we strongly suggest that you ask the recommender to write a new letter. A new letter will help us better understand any progress or growth you have demonstrated since the time of the recommender's last letter.

You will not have to resubmit official transcripts and test scores unless there is updated information.

If your TOEFL or IELTS score dates from more than two years prior to the submission date of your application, you must retake the examination.
