Chicago Booth (GSB) '10 Taking Questions

Ryanzhang

很感谢10'的校友们，我现在已经将Chicago的最后一步做完了--interview,昨天我的面试官已经把我的interview report 发上去了。下面就只好听天由命了，不知道还有什么可以做的？另外听楼主所说去年从mainland China 过去的同学一共有16个，还是挺多的一年。不知道从拿到Interview到admitted的百分比有多少？另外请教一个问题什么叫yield ratio？

多谢了！

我真的发现chicago的学生超级爱帮助人啊，我给pengting and shangwei打电话他们都很乐意帮助我，这里要好好感谢一下！！

for admission rate in interview round, I think the ration should be 25%.  Good luck

Yo, Hill, just to play devil's advocate, I think the admission rate from interviewee pool might be less than 25% at around 10% - 15% last year in mianland China. For Round 2, Chicago GSB conducted at least 60 adcom interviews in Shanghai together with a number of alumn interviews we don't have public info to. And 8 students was admitted (7 of them enrolled) from Shanghai in R2. Admittedly, this rough estimate can not rule out the possibility that we have students interviewed in Shanghai but admited as applicants elsewhere, say, HK or BJ. Yet, it can still serve a proxy of the admission rate.

I believe that for any top tier business school, admission rate for Chinese/Indian students is MUCH MUCH lower than what it's claimed by the school. Yet, this is something we cannot change in the short run. Just wish everyone good luck with their application!

You don't need to do anything except for sending out a thank-you note, which I believe you have already done.  Relax and enjoy your life now.

First quarter我选了accounting, stats和microeconomics。这三门课是Chicago Booth的foundation course，但并不是必修的。在Chicago Booth，只有LEAD是必修的。其他有三门foundation，4门breath，还有11门electives。稍微解释一下怎么理解foundation不是必修的。Chicago崇尚curriculum flexibility，free market theory也适用于我们的选课。大家可以按照自己的情况来选难度。同样是accounting，没有accounting背景的同学可以从基础的financial accounting开始选，而那些CPA或banker则可以waive entry level course直接选诸如footnote accounting做financial accounting的alternative，以满足foundation的要求。

我知道有些同学第一学期选了4门课，比如accounting, stats, micro和competitive strategy。楼上的司机帅哥（CFA+CPA）更是选了investment (直接waive了financial accounting), corporate finance (一般人必须读过accounting，stats，micro和investment之后才能选的课), regression (stats' advanced alternative) 和microeconomics，我是佩服的五体投地啊。

Hope it helps.

关于yield rate, GSB taget 的是一年550人，08年可能因为排名提升或者别的原因accept offer的比率也提高了，所以学生总数unexpectedly多招了5%。再加上现在经济差，因为工作原因而放弃offer的人也会相应减少。道听途说学校会考虑这点而相应稍微少发一些offer。不过这种事，担心也没用，对申请影响还是很小的，只是good to know.

感谢hill1005，asupls，yayaduck，Everlimit，clip的答案

现在只有耐心的等了，12月18号是final release day, 学校会不会提前发offer，还是一起发。如果都是那天发我就先不理了，呵呵！

Best wishes to you all!
