Why did you choose to attend Chicago Booth? I choose Chicago Booth for a number of reasons. First and most important because I was looking for a program that offered a strong but flexible curriculum. I have found that Chicago Booth has a profound strength in finance and a fresh view on entrepreneurship. When you combine the two concentrations you get amazing classes and labs. Another very important aspect I kept in mind was fit--the feeling you get when you talk with faculty, students and alumni and feeling comfortable and always inspired to continue to get to know them better. Last but not least, the quality of the professors and staff. I have been amazed by not only the quality but also the disposition of them to answer questions, resolve doubts or share a point of view. At the end of the day I feel Chicago is a place where I am able to move freely and question anything with the guidance and support that the community and institution offers. If I had to choose again without a doubt I would choose Chicago Booth.
What do you consider a "must visit" place in Chicago? If you are considering Chicago Booth as an option, go to a class to really get first-hand the passion the professors have for the material and teaching. Second I would spend time in the winter garden talking with students and just getting a feel of the community. At the end of the day I would strongly recommend walking around the city with your head up. Enjoy the beautiful parks and buildings mixed with the lake and rivers. Go out for dinner at any of the many restaurants that the city has to offer. After that I can guarantee you that you will fall in love.
