Chicago Booth Supplement

You will receive access to this supplement once Chicago Booth receives your information from QuestBridge in mid-September. This form will include the following:

Two additional short essays:

• How will a Booth MBA help you achieve your immediate and long-term post-MBA career goals? (250-word minimum)

• An MBA is as much about personal growth as it is about professional development. In addition to sharing your experience and goals in terms of career, we’d like to learn more about you outside of work. Use this opportunity to tell us something about who you are. (250-word minimum)

MBA Concentration Options: Chicago Booth students may tailor their MBA experience by pursuing coursework in focused concentrations. Chicago Booth asks candidates to indicate interest in any MBA Concentration options available at Chicago Booth through a checklist form. You may select any concentrations you would hope to explore as a student. Note that concentration selections are non-binding and admitted candidates are not obligated to complete concentrations indicated as of interest on the application. Chicago Booth may use your concentration interests for the purpose of sharing further information about relevant admitted student programming, courses, or Booth Groups.

A small selection of demographic/biographical questions that should take no more than 10 minutes for candidates to complete.

Interview

Select candidates who have ranked Chicago Booth and submitted the application supplement will be invited to interview with a member of the Chicago Booth interview team. Further instructions about the interview process will be shared with this invitation; no further action beyond ranking Chicago Booth and completing Booth's QuestBridge Supplement is required or requested to be considered for an interview.

Yale SOM Supplement

After your QuestBridge Application has been forwarded to Yale in mid-September, you will receive login instructions for Yale SOM’s admissions system where you can complete your Yale Supplement and track the status of your Yale SOM Application. The supplement will ask for some additional information about your educational, professional, and personal background. You will also be asked to respond to one of these three essay prompts:

1) Describe the biggest commitment you have ever made. Why is this commitment meaningful to you and what actions have you taken to support it?

2) Describe the community that has been most meaningful to you. What is the most valuable thing you have gained from being a part of this community and what is the most important thing you have contributed to this community?

3) Describe the most significant challenge you have faced. How have you confronted this challenge and how has it shaped you as a person?

More information about the essay and the other components of the Yale SOM MBA Application can be found on the Yale SOM website

Video Questions and Behavioral Assessment

After submitting the Yale SOM Application Supplement, you will be led to your personalized Yale SOM Application Status Page. Here you will find links to complete the final two components of the Yale SOM Application. 

• Video Questions: A link to the video questions will appear on your status page. The video questions are not a substitute for the interview. Instead, they provide a unique way for us to assess your communication skills and enable us to create a more dynamic, multi-dimensional profile of each candidate. The exercise will take about 30 minutes to complete. If you require accessibility accommodations, please contact mba.admissions@yale.edu.
• Behavioral Assessment: A link to the behavioral assessment will appear on your status page. The assessment is a series of questions that will take about 25 minutes to complete. It does not require any knowledge or advanced preparation, you’ll simply be presented with pairs of statements and asked to select the ones that best match your own behaviors.

Interviews are by invitation. After the steps above are complete, Yale SOM will begin reviewing your application and will email you if the Admissions Committee invites you to interview.
