how is housing? do you live on campus ? what is the range of rent?

You can live on campus in the International House (about $450/month), or live in apartments that I mentioned. For example at Regents park, a two bed-room two bathroom after voucher (group discount) is about $1200/month. There are also a variety of choices.

That being said, what do you think is the most important to get a spot ?

GMAT?   W/E?   Or, your ambition?   

As I'm not in the Admissions Office, I cannot tell exactly what the criteria are. Personally I think you need a quite well-rounded package--scores, work experience, demonstrated career potential, etc.  While doing well in one aspect may not give you a definite yes, having one glaring weakness can significantly reduce your chances.

wwwzzz:呵呵，看过你写的essay很好吖，我的背景跟你有一点点像，想问你一下，现在申请还来得及么？我的gmat还没考呢，要到月底考，还有啊，如果marketing毕业好找工作么？我就只想做marketing一块，而且毕业后不想马上回国，想在北美找工作。我是加国移民。

You can try to catch the 3rd round deadline which is in March I believe. As I mentioned above, for international students looking for corporate jobs (including marketing in US) there are just a limited number of openings (similar for every b-school). Provided that the companies recruit at your school, your chance of getting an offer strongly depends on your past experience. Generally speaking, if you did marketing or consulting before, or worked in a similar industry (pharma, high-tech, etc.), you have better chances. If you are talking about CPG marketing, the openings are really limited, but still available. To get a better idea, you can log onto the school's career services website and look up the names of companies that recruit international students.

What about Q7? Actually my parents don't want me to go to Chicago for that reason. Is it true?

sanrpeng

Q7 是什么？

sanrpeng

我个人觉得，你对学校的了解，以及你的essay质量最关键。当然面试的表现也非常重要。 考试成绩是底线，申请的人应该都不会差得太多，但是能让你与众不同的是其他几个方面。

谢谢wwwzzz,mba2007和sanrpeng花了时间来摆摊！能不能介绍一下interview的经验？此外，你们有没有在internship什么的碰到其他商学院的学生，有没有感受到文化上的不同？谢啦！

我intern的时候碰到过其他一些学校的学生， 包括purdue, kellogg, wharton, yale 等。不过说实话，人的差别比他们来自的学校的差别可能更大...很难从一个人身上看到学校文化的不同。。。

不过你如果问起芝大这个地方的文化，我倒可以多说些。

记得两年前dean snyder说起芝大的精神， 他用了一句话：" Stretch and Support"

这个地方有很多好东西，但是你要自己挖，开始的时候你可能觉得很吃力，甚至觉得非常孤单。 但是只要你伸出手，就会有非常到位的支持。不过你要自己掌握，没有现成的蛋糕吃。经过了这个过程，你会变得很自信。

我已经拿到芝加哥的面试邀请，是校友面试，能否给我一些建议？谢谢啦！

If you know the name of the alum, do a research on google. You can find some good stuff about his/her background and even in-school activities.

Go to www.accepted.com and look up for interview tips and experience-sharing on Chicago GSB, including frequently-asked questions.

Relax and make the interview conversational. It's a two-way interaction in which you make judgments of the school through the alum while being assessed.
