Again, candidates must respond to two short, direct essay questions that, interestingly, have stipulated </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">minimum</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">—rather than maximum—word counts. In the past, when Chicago Booth required only one essay, we often suggested 1,000 words as a guide; now with two essays, we propose keeping your responses to 500–600 words each. Approximately double the minimum seems to be a reasonable high-end target, though you will not be rejected from the applicant pool for going even higher. That said, we would recommend 1,000 words per essay as the absolute upper limit, and only in exceedingly rare cases.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Returning to the prompts, the school’s first essay is a very traditional career essay, in which you will need to reveal that your MBA is a well-thought-out professional imperative and that Chicago Booth is the clear bridge to your future. In the second essay, you have an opportunity to turn inward and share more personal aspects of your character and journey. With the two pieces together, you should be able to provide the admissions committee with a well-rounded picture of yourself.

Its goal statement from 2018 has been relabeled as a short-answer question but has changed in no other way, while its first essay prompt—also about applicants’ career aspirations—has likewise remained the same. The school’s second essay question has been tweaked slightly to concentrate less overtly on the value of CBS’s Manhattan location and more on the program in general, though we would argue that in the end, the new prompt is intended to elicit much of the same information as last year’s. As for the third essay, applicants may be glad to learn they do not need to discuss and reimagine a past team failure (who wants to dwell on a defeat, right?), but they will instead need to look inward and reveal their values. </span><a href="https://www.mbamission.com/blog/2019/05/23/columbia-business-school-essay-analysis-2019-2020/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Read on</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for our more detailed analysis of the program’s 2019–2020 questions.</span></p> <blockquote><p><b><i>Watch: mbaMission’s Rachel Beck helps you tackle Columbia Business School’s 2019–2020 application essay questions…</i></b></p></blockquote> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oxcPU42-3Hs" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></span></p> <h2><b>HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL ESSAY ANALYSIS 2019-2020</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 2019–2020 MBA admissions season kicked off with Harvard Business School (HBS) releasing (or shall we say </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">rereleasing</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">) its single application essay prompt. Once again, HBS has made no changes to its question. HBS Managing Director of MBA Admissions Chad Losee, now entering his fourth application season, must feel the prompt is effective in eliciting the kind of information the admissions committee finds valuable in evaluating potential students. Our analysis of the prompt and advice on the best way to approach it therefore also remain constant.

And notably, the school has shifted from having no limits at all to having a minimum expectation with respect to word count. In some ways, the minimum sets a range that a lack of limit does not. We have often suggested 1,000 words as a guide for the unlimited Chicago Booth essay, but now, we suggest keeping responses to 500–600 words each. Approximately double the minimum seems to be a reasonable high-end target, though you will not be thrown from the applicant pool for going even higher. That said, we do think 1,000 words would be as high as one might go, and only in exceedingly rare cases.</span><span id="more-16423"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Returning to the prompts, the school’s first essay now is a very traditional career essay, in which you will need to reveal that your MBA is a well-thought-out professional imperative and that Chicago Booth is the clear bridge to your future.

With the two pieces together, you should be able to provide the admissions committee with a well-rounded picture of yourself. Our more in-depth Chicago Booth essay analysis follows…</span></p> <p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Interested in learning how to tackle this year’s Chicago Booth application essay? Watch the short video below before you continue reading the full Chicago Booth essay analysis!</span></i></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><iframe loading="lazy" width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/otafOwZoXaU?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></span></p> <h4><b>Essay 1: How will the Booth MBA help you achieve your immediate and long-term post-MBA career goals? (250 word minimum)</b></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If this essay prompt seems rather simplistic and straightforward, that is because it is. Chicago Booth is requesting very fundamental—yet incredibly important—information and really just wants you to provide it so the school can understand your motivation for pursuing an MBA from its program and where you expect to go in your career afterward. Be as specific as possible in your description of where you see yourself after graduation and several years down the line, from the industry and role to any additional details about which you currently feel confident (perhaps specific companies or responsibilities that appeal to you in particular). Explain what has brought you to this point in your professional life, not only your career progression to date but also what has inspired you to earn an advanced degree as a vital tool in moving forward. And ideally, take the extra step of noting which of the program’s resources you believe will be most helpful to you in your pursuits. To be effective, this needs to be more than a passing mention, so do your research on the school and draw a clear picture for your admissions reader as to how and why the particular offerings you have identified relate directly to your needs and how you intend to apply them.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This essay includes many of the most elemental components of a traditional personal statement essay. We therefore encourage you to download your free copy of the </span><a href="https://shop.mbamission.com/products/personal-statement-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>mbaMission Personal Statement Guide</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, in which we provide much more in-depth guidance on how to consider and respond to these sorts of questions, along with numerous illustrative examples.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And for a thorough exploration of the Chicago Booth academic program, unique offerings, social life, and other key characteristics and resources, download your complimentary copy of the </span><a href="https://shop.mbamission.com/products/university-of-chicago-booth-school-of-business-insider-s-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>mbaMission Insider’s Guide to the University of Chicago Booth School of Business</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <h4><b>Essay 2: Chicago Booth immerses you in a choice-rich environment. How have your interests, leadership experiences, and other passions influenced the choices in your life? (250 word minimum)</b></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although Chicago Booth asks about your “interests, leadership experiences, and other passions,” the admissions committee does not expect you to check all of these figurative boxes. Instead of focusing on each of these aspects and trying to formulate a response that would fit one, invert your approach by taking a step back from the question and reflecting on how you have arrived at where you are today, both personally and professionally. What has led you to this point in your life and/or career? What has been your primary motivation? In considering your path to date with this mindset, you should be able to easily identify inflection points that fall within the scope of the “interests, leadership experiences, and other passions” that have shaped you.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You should know that no specific interest, leadership experience, or passion is either “right” or “wrong.” What will make your response powerful is identifying the actual influences in your life and writing about them with sincerity. And you must go beyond simply stating an interest/experience/passion—to truly convey authenticity, you will need to present your experiences in a narrative form. By giving your essay a voice and allowing your reader to visualize how your influences manifest, you will be on the road to a sincere essay.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although you are not restricted by a set maximum length, we nevertheless suggest skipping a long introduction and launching directly into your narrative. Immersing the admissions reader in your story right away is a good way to capture his/her attention. If you have a single, very strong core narrative, you might start by sharing the emergence of your passion in your first paragraph(s) and then describing its manifestation in the later one(s). For example, if you were a particularly outdoorsy youth and are now a leader in your position as a product developer at The North Face, this approach could reveal a clear cause and effect. If, however, you have a portfolio of formative experiences, you might strive to reveal this cause-and-effect relationship between passion and manifestation two or even three times within your essay. The permutations are many, but our point is that your best chance of standing out comes from revealing how a particular aspect of your life (or more than one) blossomed over time into something more and has helped create the person you are today.</span></p> <h4><b>Optional Question: Is there any unclear information in your application that needs further explanation? (300 word maximum)</b></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chicago Booth’s optional essay prompt is a little quirky in that the admissions committee uses the word “unclear,” which to us sounds like a more direct way of saying, “Don’t share additional information just to ‘sell’ your candidacy, but use this space only to address a problem area.” So let us be especially </span><b>clear</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: however tempted you may be, do not use this space to simply share a strong essay you wrote for another school or offer a few anecdotes you were unable to share in your required essays. This is your opportunity to address—</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">if you need to</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">—any lingering questions that an admissions officer might have about your candidacy, such as a low GMAT or GRE score, a poor grade or overall GPA, or a gap in your work experience. For more guidance, we encourage you to download your free copy of our </span><a href="https://shop.mbamission.com/products/mbamission-optional-essays-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>mbaMission Optional Essays Guide</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, in which we offer detailed advice on when and how to take advantage of the optional essay, with multiple examples, to help you mitigate any problem areas in your application.</span></p> <h4><b>Reapplicant Question: Upon reflection, how has your perspective regarding your future, Chicago Booth, and/or getting an MBA changed since the time of your last application? (300 word maximum)</b></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With this essay question, Chicago Booth is testing your resolve and your reasoning. We surmise that the school wants to be certain you are not just stubbornly following a path and trying to “finish what you started,” so to speak, but that you have truly reassessed your needs in the aftermath of your unfortunate rejection. We recommend that you discuss your subsequent growth and development as they pertain to additional personal and professional discovery, which validates your need for an MBA. In the interim, some of your interests or goals may have changed—that is not a bad thing, and the admissions committee will not automatically assume that you are “wishy-washy,” unless you give them good reason to do so. Just be sure that any of your goals that have changed still logically connect to your overall story and desire for an MBA. Your aspirations—new or original—need to represent a compelling progression of the growth you have achieved in the past year. </span></p> <p><b>The Next Step—Mastering Your Chicago Booth Interview:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Many MBA candidates find admissions interviews stressful and intimidating, but mastering this important element of the application process is definitely possible—the key is informed preparation.

When this prompt was first introduced in 2015–2016, the school offered a collection of 16 photos from which candidates could choose; last year, the group was reduced to ten. This season, Chicago Booth is presenting just six image options. We are unaware of the exact reasons behind this continued minimizing, but we theorize that certain types of photos were rarely chosen or did not elicit the kind of response the admissions committee ultimately felt was helpful in evaluating candidates. Another possibility is that multiple photos may have inspired very similar essays, so only one such picture was needed. Or Chicago Booth may have wanted to focus applicants on specific aspects of its program and therefore eliminated any images not related to those elements. This year’s photos again come with captions describing the depicted scene—an important factor in this equation in that an individual might be strongly drawn to a particular image, but the associated caption might influence his or her initial interpretation of it in some way. The bottom line is that with this nontraditional prompt, the school puts a significant amount of power in candidates’ hands in letting them select from a group of options, which thereby lets them better control the impression of themselves they want to present. We hope that you will find the essay question exciting and inspiring, rather than intimidating, and offer the following Chicago Booth essay analysis to help you plan your response. </span><span id="more-14339"></span></p> <h4><b>The following is a collection of shared Booth moments. Choose the moment that best resonates with you and tell us why. </b></h4> <ul> <li><b><i>Choose the format that works for you</i>. Want to illustrate your response visually? Submit a slide presentation. Like to express yourself with words? Write a traditional essay. Use the format that you feel best captures your response, the Admissions Committee has no preference.</b></li> <li><strong><i>Determine your own length</i>. There is no prescribed minimum or maximum length. We trust that you will use your best judgment in determining how long your submission should be, but we recommend that you think strategically about how to best allocate the space.</strong></li> </ul> <p><b>Technical Guidelines</b></p> <ul> <li><b><i>File Size: Maximum file size is 16 MB.</i></b></li> <li><strong><em>Accepted Upload Formats:</em> Acceptable formats are PDF, Word, and PowerPoint. We strongly recommend converting your piece to a PDF file prior to submitting.</strong></li> <li><b><i>Multimedia Restrictions: </i></b><b>We will be viewing your submission electronically and in full color, but all submissions will be converted to PDF files, so animation, video, music, etc. will not translate over.</b></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In offering advice to applicants on how best to approach its unorthodox essay prompt, a member of the Chicago Booth admissions committee stated on the department’s blog, “Simply put, we want applicants to have fun with the question and let their personality shine through. Focus less on curating a certain image and more on embracing who you are. Please trust when I say that there is no hidden meaning in the prompt.” We sincerely hope you will take the school’s counsel to heart and let go of any fears you might have about choosing the “wrong” image. Every MBA program’s essay questions share a common purpose—to help the admissions committee learn about you—and this is just a very pure and creative way of approaching the issue. Chicago Booth is not testing you. It is merely offering a novel way of inspiring a discussion about something you feel is fundamental about you—something you want the school to know about who you are, where you have been, and/or where you want to go in the future. The photos provided are very malleable, so they all offer a good opportunity to convey key messages about yourself. With a little time and contemplation, you should begin to feel a genuine connection with one of the options. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You might pick an image that connects with or recalls an important event from your past that had a significant impact on you and colors the person you are today. You could instead opt for a photo that relates to your aspirations as a Chicago Booth student or in your career. Another option is to select a picture that elicits a more emotional response from you and correlates with one or more of your core values or beliefs. Perhaps a good approach would be to let the image choose </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">you</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, so to speak. With this essay—as with all application essays, of course—being sincere is crucial, so you will likely be able to craft your most compelling response when you feel a genuine attraction to the photo you choose. And do not merely identify an attribute in a photo and riff for a thousand words on what you feel are your most impressive accomplishments; instead, really get to the heart of how and why the image speaks to you personally. If you truly own your experiences and provide sufficient detail in showcasing them, your message will come across as authentic.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can choose from multiple format options beyond the traditional essay for your submission, which no doubt adds to this prompt’s intimidation factor for some applicants. We offer no recommendation with respect to whether a written essay, a PowerPoint presentation, or any other format is “best” in this case. Opportunities are certainly available in both traditional and creative approaches, depending on where your strengths lie. We do, however, recommend that if you choose to write an essay, you limit yourself to no more than a thousand words. </span></p> <h4><b>Optional Essay: Is there any additional information that you would like the Admissions Committee to know? If so, please address in an optional essay. (300 words maximum) </b></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chicago Booth’s optional essay prompt is rather open-ended in that it does not specify that you discuss only problem areas in your candidacy, though it does restrict you to just 300 words. Nevertheless, this is still your opportunity to address—</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">if you need to</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">—any lingering questions that an admissions officer might have about your candidacy, such as a low GMAT or GRE score, a poor grade or overall GPA, or a gap in your work experience. Do not simply try to fill this space because you fear that not doing so would somehow count against you. And however tempted you might be, this is not the place to reuse a strong essay you wrote for another school or to offer a few anecdotes you were unable to share in your required essay. But if you truly feel that you must emphasize or explain something that would render your application incomplete if omitted, write a very brief piece on this key aspect of your profile. For more guidance, we encourage you to download your </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">free</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> copy of our </span><a href="https://shop.mbamission.com/products/mbamission-optional-essays-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>mbaMission Optional Essays Guide</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, in which we offer detailed advice on when and how to take advantage of the optional essay, with multiple examples, to help you mitigate any problem areas in your application.</span></p> <h4><b>Reapplicant Essay: Upon reflection, how has your perspective regarding your future, Chicago Booth, and/or getting an MBA changed since the time of your last application? (300 words maximum)</b></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With this essay question, Chicago Booth is testing your resolve and your reasoning. We surmise that the school wants to be certain you are not just stubbornly following a path and trying to “finish what you started,” so to speak, but that you have truly reassessed your needs in the aftermath of your unfortunate rejection. We recommend that you discuss your subsequent growth and development as they pertain to additional personal and professional discovery, which validates your need for an MBA. In the interim, some of your interests or goals may have changed—that is not a bad thing, and the admissions committee will not automatically assume that you are “wishy-washy,” unless you give them good reason to do so. Just be sure that any of your goals that have changed still logically connect to your overall story and desire for an MBA. Your aspirations—new or original—need to represent a compelling progression of the growth you have achieved in the past year. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And for a thorough exploration of the Chicago Booth academic program, unique offerings, social life, and other key characteristics, download your complimentary copy of the </span><b>mbaMission Insider’s Guide to the University of Chicago Booth School of Business</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <hr /> <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-13225 alignleft" src="https://d27gmszdzgfpo3.cloudfront.net/gmat/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2017/02/logo-150x150.png" alt="mbaMission logo" width="150" height="150" /><a href="https://www.mbamission.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><b><i>mbaMission</i></b></a><b><i> is the leader in MBA admissions consulting with a full-time and comprehensively trained staff of consultants</i></b><i>, all with profound communications and MBA experience. mbaMission has helped thousands of candidates fulfill their dream of attending prominent MBA programs around the world.

As you review the essay questions … we encourage you to think about the experiences that have shaped and influenced you, your passions and interests (professionally and personally), and what you think the Admissions Committee needs to know about you in order to fully understand your candidacy. While essay questions are just one part of a holistic evaluation process, they are still a very relevant and valuable component for our Admissions Committee.</em></p> <p><em>You may notice that we do not have a formal essay question asking you to outline your career goals and reasons for an MBA. Our full online application, which will go live within a couple of weeks, will offer an opportunity for you to share this important information as well.”</em></p> <p><a href="//www.mbamission.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Chicago-Booth.jpg"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignright" alt="Chicago Booth" src="//www.mbamission.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Chicago-Booth.jpg" width="280" height="160" /></a>So what is the admissions committee saying here? The message is that the school values applicants’ essays/presentations as vehicles through which to gain a profound sense of who its candidates are and what they stand for. Chicago Booth is essentially asserting the importance of this part of the admissions process—to ensure that you take it seriously. So, perhaps more than ever, you will need to think very carefully about what stories and messages you want to share with the school before you start writing. Brainstorm thoroughly and create a personal inventory of sorts, then plan your essays so that as much of that inventory as possible finds its way into your submissions. Do not worry about showing that you have many strengths and talents. Effective business leaders are not one-dimensional, but are quite the opposite. The admissions committee will be happy to discover that you have a depth of skills and experience.</p> <p><strong>Short Answer Essays</strong></p> <p><strong>1. My favorite part of my work is…. (250 word max)</strong></p> <p>Ideally, you will have multiple ideas for how to respond to this query, but what should you <em>avoid </em>writing? Definitely do not write about how you can become completely consumed with a singular aspect of your job, like spreadsheets! Although the admissions committee wants to know that you are a passionate person, that passion has to have external implications. In other words, your passion needs to have an impact on others (and please don’t make the contra argument that this can be achieved through spreadsheet modeling!).</p> <p>Your favorite aspect of your work might be your company’s annual off-site, the generosity that your boss shows in mentoring you, the creative process involved in launching a new product/campaign or even the satisfaction of winning a mandate or earning praise from a client for a job well done. What is important in this essay is not the particular aspect of work you choose, but that it reveals a character trait or skill that reflects a contribution you will make to the Chicago Booth community. You should not just write, “My favorite part of my work is the company off-site.” Even though you have only 250 words for this essay, you can still convey in some detail how you experience this aspect of your work—not just what it is, but what kind of reaction/emotion it triggers in you and how this relates to who you are as an individual and what you value. Relay the story of <em>why</em> the off-site is so meaningful for you.<br /> <span id="more-5915"></span><br /> <strong>2. I started thinking differently when… (250 word max)</strong></p> <p>To start thinking <em>differently</em> about something, you need to have first thought one way in particular. So, begin your essay by engaging the reader in a narrative that clearly illustrates your original way of thinking and show that you felt true conviction to this mind-set. Then, explain what later challenged this line of thought and demonstrate that your thinking ultimately changed as a result. Strive to create a stark contrast between before and after, supported and illustrated by specific actions. If you can accomplish this, you will have a very strong essay. Although 250 words is not very much, this is certainly possible.</p> <p><strong>Presentation/Essay</strong></p> <p><strong>The Chicago Booth experience will take you deeper into issues, force you to challenge assumptions, and broaden your perspective. In a four-slide presentation or an essay of no more than 600 words, broaden our perspective about who you are. Understanding what we currently know about you from the application, what else would you like us to know?</strong></p> <p>At mbaMission, we really welcome this creative approach to self-expression. Chicago Booth’s unique PowerPoint/PDF presentation question truly offers candidates a blank slate and thus presents an incredible opportunity for applicants to differentiate themselves by creating an entirely distinct concept. What is great about this option is that you can showcase your unique attributes through your content while also captivating your audience with your creativity, represented through your chosen design/format. (We are not suggesting that the slide presentation is an art competition, but we do believe it has the potential to engage and hold the reader/viewer in a unique way and is therefore an opportunity that should be seized to maximum effect.)</p> <p>Because the slide presentation leaves so much room for creative interpretation, rather than offering advice on how to approach this for all candidates indiscriminately, we would need to collaborate directly with applicants to devise a personal strategy for each one individually. As always, we recommend starting with a thorough brainstorming session and fully considering the range of content available—after all, this is a unique opportunity to tell the admissions committee what you feel is most important about you. Then, devise a design that will allow you to communicate this information in the most unique and interesting way. Take care to give equal thought to both your content and your approach so that both are optimized. You do not want to make the mistake of choosing a presentation method that is distinct and captivating but that limits your ability to fully tell your story, nor do you want to include so much “weak” information about yourself (or worse, repeat information already provided elsewhere in your application!) that your otherwise compelling presentation approach is rendered clunky and ineffective. Fully understanding and crafting your content first will prevent either of these scenarios from happening and will start you on the right track.</p> <p>An important note: you should not feel obliged to offer a slide presentation. Chicago Booth gives candidates the option of writing up to 600 words instead, and many applicants can effectively use words to present a multifaceted and interesting image of themselves. We definitely would not recommend simply pasting in another standard essay, however, and strongly advise again that you think carefully about what you want to say to the admissions committee before beginning your first draft. If you ultimately choose to write an essay in response to this prompt, make sure that you achieve a level of richness and creativity in your text while painting a clear and vivid picture of yourself.</p> <p><strong>Reapplicant Essay</strong></p> <p><strong>Upon reflection, how has your perception regarding your future, Chicago Booth, and/or getting an MBA changed since the time of your last application? (300 word max)</strong></p> <p>Chicago Booth’s reapplicant question offers a slight twist on the traditional, open-ended request for an update, narrowing its scope to three specific areas of inquiry: your future, Chicago Booth and earning your MBA. Although you likely do not need to discuss all three areas in this essay, you should definitely explain how and what you have learned about Chicago Booth since your previous application. The school wants to accept applicants who are truly motivated to attend Chicago Booth in particular, so discussing any meetings you have had with alumni, campus visits or other firsthand discoveries/experiences should help you create a compelling narrative that clearly demonstrates your sustained interest. You need not worry if you have changed your short- and/or long-term goals from last year—just be sure to show that any such change is reasonable and still very much connected to your abilities. So, whereas changing your aim from working with Exxon to working with Greenpeace, for example, would be way too big a gulf to cross, moving from strategy consulting to marketing consulting would be considered rational, especially if you discuss how you have discovered a new area of interest for which your skills and experience are equally fitting.</p> <p>Remember, you do not need to be—or present yourself as—a radically different candidate from the one you were last season. You just need to display clarity of thought and action and demonstrate that your interest in the Chicago Booth MBA program is as strong as ever.</p> </div> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/mbamission-university-of-chicago-booth-essay-analysis-2013-2014/">mbaMission: University of Chicago (Booth) Essay Analysis, 2013–2014</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat">GMAT</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Business School Admissions Panels in Chicago, New York</title> <link>https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/business-school-panels-in-chicago-new-york/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[ayang]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 15 Sep 2009 17:50:02 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Apps and Admissions]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Business School]]></category> <category><![CDATA[GMAT Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MGMAT News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Chicago Booth]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Columbia Business School]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kellogg]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kellogg School of Management]]></category> <category><![CDATA[NYU Stern]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.manhattangmat.com/blog/?p=336</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Manhattan GMAT is very proud to announce its first business school admissions officer panels of the season.
