I agree I think group text would be best! Plus if it’s on a social platform with other things (like IG or FB) then it’s easier to get distracted instead of study

Hmm group text? Instagram group DM? I’m fine with anything. I don’t really use WhatsApp so might not be as effective. But maybe some sort of accountability group?

Quick update , I already created a group text and we’re currently 3 of us in the chat. Please DM me of you want to join the group.

I think a WhatsApp group would be quite helpful for you guys. The platform allows you to share documents, make group calls, and even send voice messages.

There are other competitors to WhatsApp in the market; you can just pick anyone & get started.

Ok, so group text actually won’t work. With apple iMessage once you create a group text (with non iOS users in it) you cannot add more people to the chat. In our case, the more the merrier.

So I am going to create a WhatsApp group called GMAT Study Club.

Does this count only for GRE/GMAT studies? I'm trying to study for technical interviews and would like the camaraderie of a study group.

Is the group chat still open?

We have a WhatsApp group. Feel free to DM me to be added on to that grouo

Awesome! It would be great if you can periodically update this post about the progress. We’re all rooting for you.

I keep hearing that Booth’s MBA program is rigorous (maybe the most rigorous out of M7). That said, how much more work are students expected to do compared to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, etc.? I don’t know if this is an outdated opinion, considering a lot of MBAs are very demanding. Booth is personally my top choice for having a flexible curriculum & 2-3 days of classes. But I really want to know what to expect around the “rigorous” label. Does it mean I’ll be buried in coursework the other 2-3 days?
