Chicago Booth’s Martinelli on Putting it All Together

rosePicOver the past few weeks, we’ve been alerting our blog readers/applicants to the advice of Rose Martinelli, associate dean for student recruitment and admissions at Chicago Booth School of Business. Waiting to board a plane back to Chicago after a whirlwind two weeks in Asia and Israel,  Martinelli updated the Rose Report blog with an entry on how to put together a great application.

Here are some key messages Martinelli covers:

  • Complete a self-assessment and come up with the stories, attributes, hobbies and passions you want to convey to Admissions.
  • Every school is different, so map your messages into each school’s application requirements.
  • Ask yourself whether the information is important for the admissions committee to know you better.
  • Content is more important than creativity…at Chicago Booth, they want to see what applicants have learned from their experiences.
