There’s no time like the present to make the right move toward achieving your goals and becoming the type of leader you’ve envisioned for yourself. An MBA can help equip you with the tools and skill sets you’ll need to advance your career and build a global network. At Booth, you’ll also connect with a diverse community who will support you, inspire you, and make for a fun and memorable two years, and beyond. 

Now that our 2021-22 application is open, you can begin the process of transforming your career potential. As you think about putting your best self forward, know that our approach to the MBA application and evaluation is holistic. In this way, we can begin to get a sense of who you are both professionally and personally. 

After a year with no shortage of changes, we’re keeping one thing consistent: our essay prompts. When you open the 2021-22 application, you’ll find that we ask you to share the following:

  • How will the Booth MBA help you achieve your immediate and long-term post-MBA career goals?
  • An MBA is as much about personal growth as it is about professional development. In addition to sharing your experience and goals in terms of career, we’d like to learn more about you outside of the office. Use this opportunity to tell us something about who you are…

  • If you are invited to interview, you’ll have the opportunity to share with a member of the Booth community even more about who you are, how you think, and why. You will also be asked to further expand on your candidacy through an additional submission that’s meant to be short and bring your personality to life! 

    Before you begin preparing your application materials, we encourage you to get to know more about Chicago Booth. Some helpful places to start are reading about the student experience, attending an upcoming virtual event, or exploring the return on investment of a Booth degree. Once you feel you have a strong understanding of the ways in which an MBA from Chicago Booth can help you achieve your unique goals, be sure to give yourself ample time to prepare your application materials.
