While our students take a much deserved break after completing Autumn Quarter, Booth Admissions staff will be preparing for the new year. Please note that you can contact the Admissions office via email Monday, December 15 through Wednesday, December 24, 2025 and Friday, January 2, 2026. Furthermore, Chicago Booth will be closed for Winter Recess Thursday, December 25, 2025 through Thursday, January 1, 2026.

In the new year, we invite you to visit the Harper Center for our Campus Visit Program. Campus Visits will begin on Monday, January 12, 2026. Chicago Booth’s Campus Visit Program is a great way to gain a deeper understanding of the Chicago Booth MBA experience. Every visit day includes a class visit, office hours with Admissions, a tour of the Harper Center, and lunch with current Booth students. Register today to secure your spot.

During this time, if you are planning to submit by our upcoming Round Two Application Deadline on January 6, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. CST, we wish you the best of luck! This is a great time to continue crafting your best application as you learn more about Chicago Booth and continue to connect with members of our community.
