In a recent post to her blog, University of Chicago Booth School of Business Director of Admissions Rose Martinelli gave a sneak peek into what’s been going on in the admissions department this summer.
“Lots, I can assure you,” was Martinelli’s short answer. Specifically, her team has been hard at work developing a new set of application questions designed to help them better get to know prospective applicants. “They require introspection and an awareness of you that goes beyond a pure listing of events or facts,” she writes.
Before sitting down to write your responses, Martinelli recommends taking time to reflect on your life and career, determining the set of schools whose programs promise to help you reach your goals, and planning the messages you want to convey in your application and how best to do so within the new questions.

Martinelli and her team will soon depart on a two-week worldwide tour to meet prospective applicants around the globe. Scheduled stops include Tel Aviv, Mumbai, Bangalore, New Delhi, Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul and Tokyo. But she promises to use her blog, the Rose Report, to update prospective applicants on admissions during that time. And if there’s a particular topic you’d like to see her cover, she invites you to email her directly at rose.martinelli@chicagobooth.edu.
