Chicago GSB Ding

Chicago GSB just lost a great candidate! ( I really mean it)

Dear Bokaa,
Thank you for applying to Chicago GSB's Full-Time MBA Program. Your application has received the careful consideration of our Admissions Committee. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you admission to the Class of 2010.
The superb quality of this year's applicant pool presented the Admissions Committee with some difficult decisions. Three members of the Committee reviewed your application in its entirety before our decision was made. Applicants are evaluated on several criteria, including academic preparedness, professional achievements, communication skills, extracurricular/community involvement, leadership, self-awareness, understanding the value of the MBA experience, and fit with Chicago GSB.
We certainly appreciate the effort you put into this process, and we wish you every success as you continue to plan for your future.

BOOOOOOO. I'm sorry to hear about your ding. But, good luck with your other applications! This process seems like such a random crapshoot that I'm sure you'll hear from your other schools.

Sorry to hear that! Everyone expects some dings but they still hurt when they arrive, after all that effort.

I know the hurt of a ding, but keep your head up. Chicago's deny can be Tuck's, Harvard's, Wharton's, Darden's, Stanford's and/or Columbia's admit!
