这道题乍一看很非主流，翻译成通俗的语言便是：Why Booth? 或者Why are you here, not anywhere else? （这是Booth前几年给参加info session的同学发的明信片上写的话）

[alwayshide]实际上Booth对申请人commitment的考验已成传统，多年来要求提交PPT这类可复制性很弱的申请材料，这次只是将内容更加直接干脆地squeeze在why school而已。申请人需要做更加认真细致的功课，表达出自己把学校当成the one and only的真情实感。

学校提供的这几张照片风格迥异，涉及Booth的方方面面，比如有课堂、新教学楼、新院长、高峰学术论坛、experimental learning、国际学生的活动等等。选择其中一张后，开始做相关的research。每个人可能有自己的解读，可以写写这个话题对自己来说意味着什么，然后combine自己的相关经历，或envision自己打算如何利用这个资源——也就是how Booth fits in to your path and plan。举个例子，新院长上任后强调要expand Booth’s global presence，而你恰好就有很多的国际化经历么？去年学校的亚洲campus已经Move到香港了，作为中国申请人，这对你来说意味着什么？又比如，Booth的选课制度非常灵活，同时采用bidding system，以确保每堂课最终聚集到一起的学生都是真心喜欢这门学科的，大家有很强的求知欲，愿意互相挑战也互相启发——你是这样的人么？你又打算如何在这种讨论深入的课堂和同学一起激发知识的火花？[/alwayshide]
