Really appreciate your sharing. I'm having my interview in the next few hours. Will share my experience right after the interview finishes.
My English speaking ability is not really great so I'm a little bit nervous now @@


Don't be nervous, you're gonna do great. Remember, they invited you to interview for a reason. Be sure to maintain eye contact and even if you stumble or get off track, be confident in every answer you give and question you ask. Good luck!


Just finished my interview with Ms. Kim Killingsworth. I did get off track sometimes but overall it was a really nice conversation. So here are the questions that I remember (in order):
- How do you know about Owen?
- Why do you choose Owen? (then ask some questions regarding several details of my answer) (=> you better prepare for this question carefully)
- How can an MBA help you to acchieve your goal?
- If your supervisor describes you in three adjectives, what would they be?
- Three of your personal traits that you need to improve? (super tricky one :( )
- How can you contribute to the class/group study?
- Do you have any questions for me?
When I remember anything more, I will add to the list.
Good luck to all of you!

This work week is probably going to feel like it's a month long. Owen notifies via phone call correct?

Guys,

Quick question. I read in the previous year's thread that Owen grants an application fee waiver for a 700+ GMAT score .
Is this still relevant ? I am just starting my R2 application and have a 730 on GMAT.

https://www.owen.vanderbilt.edu/admissio ... waiver.cfm

Doesn't say anything about that on their website. Possibly a qualifier that they don't advertise. Email admissions directly and ask if it's a valid reason for a fee waiver.

i had mailed AdCom while applying in R1 for the same...my score is 750...they are not providing fee waiver based on GMAT score this year. You can still mail them if you want to give it a shot.
