Chicago Booth MBA Events - December 2024

Chicago Booth has scheduled 2 events for December 2024, both of which are virtual and designed to assist prospective MBA applicants with their admissions journey.

Virtual Events

On December 11, the JD/MBA Admissions Office Hours offers an informal opportunity for students interested in the JD/MBA program to engage with admissions officers, ask questions, and gain personalized insights into the program. 

On December 12, the Zoom in on Booth: Frequently Asked Questions webinar provides an overview of the Full-Time MBA application process. Admissions Directors will address common queries and host a live Q&A session for participants to ask additional questions.

With the word limit typically in the 250 to 500 range, it is not easy to structure the essay without losing momentum.

As F1GMAT’s Lead Consultant and Essay Specialist, I will help you structure the essay by:

1)  Personal Branding

I will help you find unique life experiences that would differentiate you from the highly competitive M7 and T15 application pool.

2)  Storytelling

I have developed a keen sense of storytelling from over a decade and a half of editing essays and writing essay examples for F1GMAT’s Essay Guides.

The skills that a writer/editor brings to the table are different from what a former admissions officer or a consultant who has limited writing skills brings

Movie Critics # Movie Directors

It is easy to comment, but it is tough to structure the essay from the perspective of the applicant and turn the essay into a winning application essay.

3) Aligning with the Culture of the School

A big part of editing and guiding applicants is in educating them about the culture of the school

Some schools have very ‘specific’ traits that they are looking for in an applicant. 

If you don’t highlight them and lean towards general leadership or cultural narratives, the essay won’t work. 

I will guide you through the writing process. 

I will also iteratively edit the essays without losing your original voice.
