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!

What happened last year was that the school would notify selected applicants over 2 days, starting one day before deadline.

想请教几个问题.

1. 芝大(整个学校) 大概有多少中国学生? 平均背景怎么样? 大陆过去的占多少? 

We have around 30 Chinese students every year.  That comes to 60 for 2 years.  I don't know what you meant by avg background.  The backgrouds are diverse, ranging from engineers to bankers, government officials to entrepreneurs.  Usually folks from mainland China take about 60%.

2. MBAer与学校里商学院外的中国人接触多吗?

Yes.  The Chinese student association in U of C organized quite a few events for networking purpose.

3. 你认为在芝大读MBA, 对你在国内的NETWORKING提升有实质性帮助吗? 从质量,数量和社会分工的多样性来讲. 

I don't quite understand this quesion  You definitely know your Chinese peers very well and they are likely to be your lifelong friends (if you don't screw up).  They are smart, talented, experienced and good-looking.  So to me, I don't worry about "quality" of my friends at all.  Quantitively, you get to know more people other than Chinese classmates.  Now with globalization, I don't think one shall only limit him/herself in China.  Diversity?  Oh man, this is the place you should come see.  I have a squad mate who was a nuclear submarine officer...

Hope I answered your question.

非常感谢

Here is a sample newsletter from ChicagoOn, one of the many use resources available to Chicago Booth students.

 

U.S. Financial Crisis
Given the uniqueness and importance of the U.S. credit crisis, Chicago Booth will provide these emails as breaking opinions from its faculty become available.
Richard Thaler: "Human frailty caused this crisis." Richard Thaler, Ralph and Dorothy Keller Distinguished Service Professor of Behavioral Science and Economics, published an opinion article "Human frailty caused this crisis," in the Financial Times November 12. The article was co-written with Cass Sunstein, Harry Kalven Visiting Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School. Read the entire article > Contribute to the dialogue about the financial crisis. Share your thoughts and opinions with alumni, staff and friends of Chicago Booth.  Reforming global economic and financial governance Raghuram Rajan, Eric J. Gleacher Distinguished Service Professor of Finance, wrote one of the 17 essays in a new publication titled "What G20 leaders must do to stabilize our economy and fix the financial system." The publication was prepared in advance of the November 15 meeting of 20 world leaders in Washington, DC. Read Professor Rajan's essay (in PDF format) > John Cochrane asks: Is Now the Time to Buy Stocks? John Cochrane, Myron S. Scholes Professor of Finance, published an opinion article in The Wall Street Journal titled "Is Now the Time to Buy Stocks?" The article appeared November 12.

关于托福分数:总分103 (Reading 29, Listening 26, Speaking 24, and Writing 24.)

但是我看最低限是104，就差1分,所以我的分数能用吗？能不能在optional essay中解释呢？

焦灼不安中。。。。。。

As a heavily Finance focused school, Chicago GSB is a great school comparable to Wharton, but this year will be particularly difficult in placing its MBAs.

This year will be difficult for any school to place its MBAs.

Why not asking AdCom? My gut feeling is that it won't matter as long as you can show in your essays that you are capable of handing complicated professional tasks in English speaking environment? For instance, working abroad, coordinating multi-country teams, reporting to / managing / working with English speaking colleagues, etc

Hope it helps and good luck

i think you should retake the test. However you still can send mail to adcome and ask.

Thanks to all for taking questions. I have a question about class visit. Will the perspective applicants be challenged by professor during the class visit? I am having on-campus interview next week and wonder whether to schedule the event of campus visit. Thanks a lot for your help
