Hi all,
Can any current or prospective students who have interviewed at Owen share their experience? What types of questions are most common during the interview process? I have an upcoming interview soon so I want to be as prepared as I can be.
Thanks for all the help!
Hi! I just posted this on the main thread:
Hello everyone!
I was pretty nervous after going through some of the posts in last year's thread about interview experiences (lots of problems with connections, very short interviews, interviewers that were not interested at all...), but I have to say that this was one of the best interview experiences of my life.
The (not blind) interview lasted for about 35 mins and it was very conversational. The first question was NOT walk me through your resume, but why do you want an MBA. Then some of the following questions were:
ST goals
A question related to one of my essays
If you have 60 seconds to present yourself to a potential employer, what would you say?
How would your supervisors describe you?
Strengths and weaknesses
Why Owen
How would you contribute to the Owen community
More personal questions
Do you have any questions for me
Throughout the interview, we talked extensively about Owen, its community (students, faculty...), Nashville, financial aid and the CMC.
I think it went well and, after this interview, I couldn't have a better impression of Owen. I'm really looking forward to hearing back from them! The waiting is going to be excruciating!
Good luck to those of you who are still waiting for your interviews!

I would also recommend going through the whole thread and specially last year's thread. You will have a much more comprehensive view of the interviews at Owen.
Best of luck with your interview!
