Interaction with Chicago Booth Admission Committee

Today I went to attend the Chicago Booth interaction session at Taj Hotel.

Interaction with the associate dean of admission was satisfactory. One fruitful thing about the entire session was that I got some clues about one question of Tuck Business School. The schools are looking for diversity, how a certain people from a very diverse culture will fit into there class and how will he be able to put across his view in the class. How much effective he is while he is putting up his case in the class. The class and community contribution is an important factor and should be brought out clearly in your essays.

Another alumni gave a very thoughtful observation : There is no need to repay your loan as soon as possible. In fact where in the world will you get a loan at 8% without any co-signer and pressure to repay. He went on to say that international educational loan should be paid last, settle your other loans at priority.

I also happen to met an old friend and a fellow applicant after almost 3 years. It was fun to talk to him and remember old days when we used to go to same coaching classes. And lastly we had some good snacks and juices. Overall a good experience.

On a side note, nothing has changed on Mathura Road in last one and a half year except the fact that today I was riding pillion.
