Owen (Vanderbilt) Class of 2016 Calling all applicants!

Admitted with solid scholarship! Saw my admissions decision on MyOwen and received a phone call with the scholarship info later in the day.

Formal letters will go out in the mail next week they said.

Congrats Shuffle I just got up this morning ( i live in singapore) and checked my mailbox to find a scholarship offer from Owen, solid enough for me, haha I guess I didn't get that phone call cause of the crazzzy time diff b/w Nashville and Singapore....

Hello,

I checked myOwen page and it says Offered Admission Condition, no calls/mails yet. Can anyone help me understand this status please?

Many thanks

I have the same status, so I believe you have been offered an admit, congrats seems like some are getting a phone call, and some - an email (like me), so perhaps you should be getting one v soon

Thanks for your response
I'm just curious what the condition may be.

I read some threads in the class of 2013 page, and apparently they asked a gmat retake as a condition.

Does you email have any mention of any specific conditions?

Also, you mentioned they offered a schol - Does your my owen status say anything about that?

Hey there,
ur most welcome brother So the myowenpage didnt give any info abt the schol or the condition...It was the email i received from an owen adcom mentioning schol and condition, which is: successful completion of the US Business and Culture Communications Course, a three-week program starting in mid-July (required for international students), nothing abt gmat retake n stuff though....I am guessin , condition means verification of our transcripts n scores , or perhaps any course as a prerequisite...

What a relief!
I have been nervous ever since I read those posts about the GMAT Retake
- WHO WANTS TO DO THAT, After having felt for once, that you have been offered admission.

I hope I hear from them soon..

Thanks again

Hello everyone. I applied R1 (not the early decision) and just received an invitation to interview! I'm currently living abroad so I'll have to do it via Skype. Did anyone have a skype interview? What types of questions should I expect from Owen? The standard MBA Qs? Any curveballs? Thanks in advance!

My app is in for Nov Round. 1-Oct deadline was too early for me, I know I lost on a very good opportunity of making the cut in early round. I am very excited for Nov round. Hopefully I'll get an interview call soon.


Please share your interview exp.

Got an interview invite today. I'll schedule skype interview.

Please share your interview experiences.

Congrats.

Did you apply for the early round? I applied for Round 1 and my interview is scheduled for December 19th. Do they tell you the decision right after the interview?

I applied in R1 (Nov-25) and I got interview invite last night. I'll schedule Skype as in-person & on-campus interviews are not until decision due date of 14-Jan.

Guys, I have skype interview this Friday. Please share ur interview experiences.

mbanerd, i have my interview via skype this friday as well. if you hear anything about the topics from another source, please post the info here

All interviews at Owen are done by a member of the Admissions Committee, instead of current students or alumni. From my experience and speaking with others/campus visits it's designed to be a conversational experience. They are interested in getting to know you as fit is very important to Owen.

I didn't have any "trick" questions. Be prepared with your story and know your resume. Pretty standard stuff like: Why MBA? Why Now? Why here? Career goals? Leadership experience? Team experience? Strengths? Weaknesses? etc. There's time at the end for you to ask questions and since it's conversational you can ask questions during as well. Overall it was a pleasant experience Check out the free interview advice on ClearAdmit for other schools (don't believe Owen is on there yet) and you'll see similarities.

Good luck!
