Interview
My interview was with an Adcom member. It was very conversational and very relaxing. I was asked a lot of the application essay questions as well as why Simon is the best fit for me. In addition, I was asked for examples where I had demonstrated leadership skills and team work. Strengths and weaknesses were asked. Finally, there was a question about if you get accepted at every school you have applied; which one would you choose and why (have a good answer for this one). I also received 40k in scholarship and I am hoping to get more $ by participating in Case Competitions during the scholarship weekend.
Hope this helps!
Good Luck to all of you! Congratulations on the admit. In which round did you apply and when were you interviewed? I applied for the Jan5th deadline (I am guessing that is R2). I submitted my app on Jan2nd and received my interview invite on the 7th. Interviewed on the 14th and admissions offer on the 22nd.

Arory, Ask the school directly, or if possible, for the contact of a current student so you can probably get better info than from me. Also, you could ask on twitter @simonschool https://twitter.com/SimonSchool, if you have a twitter account.

Why are you confused if the second school is better ranked and is offering you more $? I understand if you are interested in finance and the second school is not known in the finance field.

Actually the conundrum is that though the other school is ranked above simon, I guess simon has a better overall rep.. but the fee difference of $40k is huge..

So I'm wondering here, how many posters here were invited to apply at Simon (through the preferred candidate mail)?

Neely also has a decent finance program, and similar to Simon is situated in a smallish city. Up to you really, but I'd go with full tuition. Goes without saying, but if you get into Owen, go for that
