Connect with a Student
Current Chicago Booth students are the best resource for learning about the Booth experience. Booth offers multiple ways to earn an MBA, so our Admissions team has recruited a diverse group of students whom you can contact directly about their experiences in the Full-Time, Evening, or Weekend MBA programs. These students are involved in many of our student groups and organizations, work in or are pursuing a number of different career paths, and are excited to share their unique perspectives with you.
You can use the fields below to search for and contact students who share your interests. You may select multiple filters at once, but please note that using multiple filters can result in fewer student matches. For optimal results, we recommend keeping your search broad by using only one to two filters at a time.
If you have any questions about the admissions process, please contact Full-Time MBA Admissions or Evening MBA and Weekend MBA Admissions.
Please note: The students featured here are volunteers who generously offer their time to support prospective students. Please be respectful of their schedules as response times and availability may vary depending on the time of year, including during final exams, internships, and recruiting seasons.
Explore our full-time student groups in greater depth.
Explore our part-time student groups in greater depth.
In addition to classes, student life, and living in Chicago, our students are happy to discuss more focused experiences and perspectives.
Many of our students have lived and worked internationally . Country capatains are full-time students who have volunteered to connect with prospective students from their country of residence.
