Chicago Booth 2011 Taking Questions

Booth2011

以下是引用bitte在2009/10/28 12:51:00的发言：

I just want to jump out and kick back this one... my impression about Booth before I came here is that the students here are more academic focused (might be less interesting people), but when I got here, I find this is totally wrong! Boothies are very fun people, very collaborative, willing to help, warm, probably less agressive than other schools' students and very down-to-earth, are smart with substance --- nobody doubt about Boothies' intelligence! --- as a 2nd year quoted: when I was summer intern with XXX bank, people often came to me for help on difficult models because they assume that I should know since I'm from chicago ...

In all, I dont find any tension at all, people are mature enough to know how to deal with life here... We are not children any more, there are many ways to live a life, why to pose tension with people who you may be life time friends with? Pretty much portion of the students here are very laid back, some are not recruiting at all but working on their own business using the school's resource...

take it easy... I don't know how much I love Booth until I got here!

I totally agree. fitswarce, I don't know where you got this impression. I highly suggest you to reach out to as many people from different school as you can to feel the nuance difference. Booth is no doubt one of most collaborative schools. If you have been to the receptions, I am sure you could feel it.

路过的一、二年级同学：

我约好了下周一visit campus, 周二早上面世。

请问哪位同学有时间在周日晚上或者周一中午/晚上一起吃个饭或者聊一聊？

多谢

Beijing Center will be for non-degree purpose, running by Beth, she was UoC Asia Campus Managing Director, very nice and elegant lady, Dean Z said it would be a cost center, with no purpose of making money, mainly for undergraduated student visiting and using.
For networking, I suggest that you visit Linkedin.com and join Booth group, you should find many seniors there and able to learn from them.

I will have to disagree.  From my experience, Chicago Booth alumni are very helpful to each other and to prospective students.  Also, Booth is not a "pure finance school" as many think it is.  There are plenty of students heading towards management, consulting, marketing, and entrepreneurship.   Students also know how to have fun.  That "Bowling Club" shows it all.

I heard some rumors concerned that the Booth school and the MBA program actually do not have such a close relationship. Sometimes, we can even use "tention" to interpret their links now. I don;t know whether it is true or not.

一年全部要8万刀，两年就是16万。
自己负担是比不小的投资，请问班上有多少比例的同学拿到奖学金？ Full tuition waiver 和 half tuition waiver的比例大概多大？
还有Fellowship及merit based 的scholarship 大概多少钱呢？给的话一般是只给一年（然后下一年看表现？），还是一下给两年？
还有在申请签证的时候是不是只要说明有一年的费用就可以了？过去了之后下一年的费用怎么搞定呢？依靠贷款么?

To summercool1,

We don't have current Chinese students from auto companies. But we do have some from consumer goods sales & marketing, and some from consulting with previous background in auto marketing. There shouldn't be any problem in your background. 6.5 yr experience is above the mean, but we also see classmate from Greater China with longer experience. Don't worry about that.

To xiaoyuanzi,

I don't have fellowship/scholarship stats, but I know some people got that. Tuition waiver could be rare case. Some merit-based schloarship is as high as $35,000. But it is really competitive to apply. Most people take various amount of loans. Please refer to Booth website for the financing informaiton.
