Chicago Booth is a place that challenges its students to stretch and take risks that they might not take elsewhere. Tell us about a time when you took a risk and what you learned from that experience. (750-word maximum)
|
| 3. |
At Chicago Booth, we teach you HOW to think rather than what to think. With this in mind, we have provided you with “blank pages” in our application. Knowing that there is not a right or even a preferred answer allows you to demonstrate to the committee your ability to navigate ambiguity and provide information that you believe will support your candidacy for Chicago Booth.
Guidelines
|
| |
 |
The content is completely up to you. Acceptable file formats are PowerPoint or PDF.
|
| |
|
There is a strict maximum of four pages, though you can provide fewer if you choose.
|
| |
|
The document will be printed in color and added to your file for review; therefore, flash, hyperlinks, embedded videos, music, etc. will not be viewed by the committee. You are limited to text and static images to convey your points.
|
| |
|
The file will be evaluated on the quality of content and ability to convey your ideas, not on technical expertise or presentation.
|
| |
|
Files need to be less than 9 megabytes in order to upload. If your file is too large you may save your file as a PDF and upload your essay.
