Calling all Olin (St Louis) MBA Applicants:(2017 Intake) Class of 2019

This is going to be my first skype interview. Can anyone please help me with the logistical stuff? Do they just call you or are you supposed to receive a 'friend' request? Just wondering how the process works.

Good luck to you all!

Thanks you both. I will use my roommates laptop as its better than mine. So, you suggest I log out of my own and then log into my friend's?

Hi All,

I have an interview with Jessica Voss from Olin school of business today.

I already have an admit offer from carlson with full scholarship. Is it safe to tell them that I already got an admit from other school with scholarship ?

If so, what would be the questions I might have to face ?

Thanks in advance.




Friendly advice don't. Admission committee members aren't interested in knowing which school accepted you or how much was offered. They are only interested in your genuine interest in their program. If you talk about other schools that will turn them off real quick. If you ARE accepted at that point it is ok to TACTFULLY try to negotiate for more scholarship. Until then use that full scholarship as a safety to know you at least have that as an option and hope for something better.

I have my interview tonight via Skype. Hoping to sail through with confidence.

How did your interview go? Mind sharing you interview experience with us?

I think it went well. I was much more confident than my last interview a couple of days back. She asked me to take her through my Resume and my accomplishments. I was asked about 3 factors that I would consider if I were to choose between offers from different schools. The rest of the questions were about my short term and long term goals, why I chose Olin for my masters and why I chose to apply now.

The interview went on for about 30 mins. I'm expecting a response from them by the end of the month.

School attempted to call. Phone was unavailable.
