One Last Ride
The six writers here at The Booth Experience have had a blast this year providing all of you with relevant, interesting content, that’s hopefully made your decision to apply to and eventually attend Booth a little easier. The moment we were all dreading finally arrived last Saturday, as we walked across the stage at our […]
Ten Unforgettable Moments
We’re down to our final week of life at Booth, which means days are spent hastily trying to sell old furniture, cobble together final papers, and say yes to every event invitation that comes our way. While two years is really the perfect amount of time to be in business school, it doesn’t take away from […]
From The Other Side
Many of you come to this site with a goal of learning more about what’s it’s like to be a student at Chicago Booth, and hopefully throughout the year we’ve been able to provide plenty of information in that domain. Much of what we write about is intended to give you insight into The Booth […]
MBAs: Masters of Baller Ambitions
Basketball is not just my favorite sport or form of exercise. It’s my favorite… everything. If I have a chance to watch TV, I’m finding whichever NBA game is on.

Here at Booth, our diversity is experienced in the variety of different perspectives, interests, and backgrounds of our students, […]

Some are career-oriented, others have an athletic flavor, and further more may pique a special interest of yours. In this guest post, 2Y student Chun Ying Wang reflects on her time as a member and eventual co-chair of […]
Compare and Contrast: 1Y vs. 2Y At Booth
I remember one of the weirdest sensations of business school being that I was now a part of a 500+ group of grownups who were set and ready to make friends with one another like it was the first day of 5th grade. It was something I hadn’t been used to doing in many years […]
Networking 101: Unlocking Relationship Building
The Booth experience (no pun intended) is meant to encompass a lot of things in a short amount of time. You can take classes with Nobel winning professors, you liaise, and are potentially hired, by some of the world’s premiere companies, and you travel around the globe to fulfill your ‘experiential’ learning component. But maybe […]
