I will be applying to Booth SOB this fall and the school's application webpage states, "Below are the Essay questions for the Fall 2010 application. The complete application is now available online." View it here: http://www.chicagobooth.edu/fulltime/ad ... lides.aspx

The Fall 2010 application they're referring to - is that for people who will be submitting their applications by the upcoming Fall 2010 deadlines (for a program that begins in Fall 2011), or is that an older reference to individuals who sought to begin their program in Fall 2010 and already finished applying?

Also, when you click the hyperlink to view the applications online, there is no listing for a Full-time MBA program - only evening programs.

Can anyone clarify whether the essay questions at the above URL are the ones I should complete if I am applying later this year for a Full-time MBA program?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,

I personally never like when a school just refers to its application as the "Fall 2010" application, for the exact reason that you highlight. It's unclear whether that refers to when applicant will submit their application or to when students will enter the school.

To the best of our knowledge, Chicago Booth has not yet released its 2010-2011 essays. The essays you see on that page are the exact same as what we analyzed on our blog last year:

Also, it's been widely reported that Chicago Booth will probably drop the PowerPoint question this year, so the fact that this page still shows the "four slides" question tells me that we're probably still looking at last year's questions.

Hope that helps!
Scott
