Round 2 Booth Interview

DoKn

For those of you who applied in Round Two, we will be releasing interview invitations at 9am CST daily via email from Monday, February 10 through Friday, February 14. Invitations will be released on a rolling basis in no specific order.


If you are invited to interview, you will have three interview location options:
1) On-campus
2) Booth locations in London and Shanghai
3) Off-campus  

On-campus:
On-campus interviews will take place at the Harper Center from February 17 to March 6. The interviews will be conducted by our second-year Admissions Fellows. If you choose to interview on-campus, you can also use this opportunity to plan a campus visit on the day you interview. We strongly encourage everyone to visit campus, if possible. Spending the day at Booth includes a class visit and lunch with current students – a great chance to engage with the real Booth experts and ask them #WhyBooth!


International Booth Locations:
Interviews will take place in London on Saturday, February 22, in Sao Paulo on Saturday February 22 and Sunday, February 23, and in Shanghai on Saturday, March 1 and Sunday, March 2. The interviews will be conducted by Booth alumni who are living and working in these cities.


Traveling to a Booth interview city is a great way to get the feel of the community and the Booth experience without traveling to Chicago. In each location, if your schedule allows, please join us for lunch with alumni on the day that you will be interviewing.

Admissions staff will also be there to answer any questions and provide support through the process.  Details on each city and how to schedule your interview and lunch will be included in your interview invitation. Please note that these interview days are only open to Round Two candidates invited to interview.


Off-campus:
Off-campus interviews are conducted by alumni and can be scheduled from February 17 until March 8. If you select this option, the admissions office will pair you with an alumna/alumnus within the geographic preferences you select. Then, you and the alumnus will pick a convenient time and place (generally a coffee shop or an office) to meet for your interview. Please keep in mind that you are also welcome to interview outside of your residential city if you are located somewhere else for a consulting project, on vacation, or business trip for example.


As interview invitation week gets closer, please know that you should feel free to pick an interview option that works for you.  If you think it can be beneficial for you to visit one of our Booth interview locations to be better immersed within the Chicago community, we would love to have you join us in person. Otherwise, we are happy to have you meet a member of our alumni community in your city.
