Why did you choose to attend Chicago Booth? Chicago is the capital city of the world for commodities and Booth is the #1 business school; the University of Chicago is very admired in South America and considered top notch. Being an economist I believe I am in THE University for Economics (making a dream come true), yet at the same time management and business skills are tremendously practiced and worked on. Chicago is a very American city (which I wanted to feel and experience) and Booth is giving me an international perspective with my classmates. My wife also has professional opportunities here in Chicago.
What do you consider a "must visit" place in Chicago? Visit the University of Chicago, visit the CBOT, go for a bicycle ride along the lakeshore, attend the Saturday Green City Farmers Market, go to a Jazz Club and a summer concert at Millennium Park.
Ask me about...: Booth alumni in South America and specifically Uruguay, and I can give you a very complete answer to how their education at Booth made them the leaders they are now and the huge positive impact they contributed to our region.
