Presentation/Essay Guidelines by Chicago Booth

• Choose the format that works for you. Want to illustrate your response visually? Submit a slide presentation. Like to express yourself with words? Write a traditional essay. Use the format that you feel best captures your response, the Admissions Committee has no preference.
• Determine your own length. There is no prescribed minimum or maximum length. We trust that you will use your best judgment in determining how long your submission should be, but we recommend that you think strategically about how to best allocate the space.

Technical Guidelines

Maximum file size is 16 MB. Acceptable formats are PDF, Word and Powerpoint. We will be viewing your submission electronically and in full color, but all submissions will be converted to PDF files, so animation, video, music, etc. will not translate over. We strongly recommend converting your piece to a PDF file prior to submitting to ensure that everything you see matches what we see.
