How I Got into Chicago Booth (with Scholarship)

In an increasingly competitive job market, the MBA stands out as one of the best ways for candidates to distinguish themselves. However, MBA programs themselves are quite competitive, with several years of work experience being one of many requirements for admission.

Today I’ll be sharing some of the strategies I used in gaining admission to the top-ranked University of Chicago Booth School of Business – despite coming from a non-traditional background, lacking university connections, and not having worked at a company with more than 50 employees. I also share some strategies that you can apply in your situation to become more competitive for top programs, whether you’re looking at Booth or elsewhere. We'll cover aspects such as GMAT/GRE, other stats, and written portions of the application, which can hopefully share some insight into how to get into Booth!
