Chicago Booth Alumni Review

Can we join the master in finance as well as in economic at the same time?

Do you need work experience to join this university? Or can you join soon after under grad? BTW I'm from India.

Never Chicago but like course degree master how do in course I m Brazilian

Review for cafe/dining hall. They have one of the best food court spots on the University of Chicago campus. The workers are friendly, diligent, and hard-working. Food has variety and is well-prepared.

Has passed Wharton, people just don't realIze it yet.

They tried to convince me that societal systems that exacerbate poverty are okay if you can learn to be the one in control of them.

Learn from the greatest mammon worshippers how to worship mammon in the most exquisite possible way. Learn how to disregard the interests of the poor, and obsequiously obey the slightest whim of the rich. Learn to make yourself into a servile flatterer, a toady, a sycophant, an obedient, unquestioning servant of the ruling class. Booth will teach you all of these things, and leave you with a huge load of debt, just to make sure you never change your mind. An exquisite MBA program, unrivaled in the world.

Loved this place. Great faculty, and amazing classmates.

I know I'm biased, but how can you beat this top-ranking business school? Great MBA program, in a top facility, with world class professors and amazing classmates. C'est tout.

I had an amazing experience at Booth. The program and culture live up to the mantras of "Challenge everything" and "Independent thought" in my experience. Personally, I was drawn to the fact that there is no one path at Booth -- you're not forced into a cohort, you're not told which classes you have to take, you're not assigned to study teams and instead, you have the freedom to chart your own course (within some guidelines of course!) and you gain much wider exposure (e.g., taking classes with 2nd years). Looking back, the LEAD course was extremely helpful and I apply those lessons about leadership and self-awareness everyday now. The student culture is very strong (and different than what many perceive) -- it's a bit different from other schools where there's a concentrated campus that everyone lives near and again, things aren't dictated for you. I was incredibly impressed by my classmates -- not just their intelligence and career drive but also their passion for traveling and experiencing the city of Chicago. I did not find it to be competitive at all - I think because of the grade non-disclosure but also in recruiting, I had so much help from my classmates.

A bit about my experience: I was a career changer. I worked in HR before and worked in consulting afterwards (boutique/startup firm in Chicago). My course specializations were Strategy, Economics, and Marketing. I was very involved with the Admissions team while there, serving on the student adcom, leading tours, planning admit weekend, etc. I also loved the Business Solutions Group where I worked on a pro-bono consulting project for a non-profit education company. I lived in Hyde Park (rare for Booth students, but I loved it).

My advice to future applicants: engage with the Booth community as much as possible. Visit campus, sit in on a class, talk to students and alums, connect with the alumni group in your closest city. Be prepared to have reasons for "Why Booth" beyond just the finance reputation and flexible curriculum.

There are not many parking lots nearby. Approx cost $ 20 for more than 4 hours

even though i haven't attended yet but i so love it and want to study there.

Just visiting from New Zealand. Impressed with all the comments. My interest is in architecture.

Can't ask for a better research facility for finance and marketing

The best business school in the galaxy. What makes Booth special is its relentless focus on rigour and compelling logic in pursuit of understanding business.

The MBA program is ranked number 1 by The Economist and Businessweek. More than 600 students matriculate each year and join an alumni base of over 45,000 world-wide.

The school features and extensive collection of modern art. Architecturally, the building echoes the gothic University of Chicago style in the Rothman Winter Garden. The over hangs in the back give tribute to the Robie house in the back, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright

Attended an executive education course: Pricing - strategy and tactics.

The overall experience was professional, well thought through and not only fun to attend but also educational.

Chicago university is a pleasant place for learning, very clean and attractive, the student there are the best. There tutors are very kind and intelligent, we are treated well with mutual respect. The university I had ever seen.

Great Job. Lots of high-quality instructions from very qualified professors. I recently finished my undergrad at UChicago and probably the best classes I took were at Booth. Shout out specifically to Laura Born - phenomenal instructor who taught us all the fundamentals of corporate finance combined with her real-life experience at JP Morgan.
