Yes that decision deadline is soon so puts the pressure on. Right now I'm comparing paying about 10k per year for Owen or nothing at Foster, though my hunch is cost of living difference between Nashville and Seattle would make up a good chunk of the difference.

I dont know! I guess I'm just grateful to be in this position. I know that Vanderbilt was my first visit and none of the other visits quite lived up as far as how kind the students and staff were, and the effort put in to make us feel welcome. Plus seeing the way students from Owen are engaged on this board and so passionate about their school has been impressive.

Hello everyone and congratulations!!

The deposit deadline is coming up in just 3 weeks! What are your thoughts?

I will be waiting on my last two schools this week, and then making a decision. How about you?

Same here! :-D

I have a decision coming up on Thursday and a rolling decision which I expect to receive later this week or next week. I'll definitely have some thinking to do during Christmas, although matching Owen's offer is going to be very hard.

I agree; none of my visits quite lived up to Owen. It seems to be the real deal.

I'm waiting for a few more decisions too, and I'm (hopefully) going to make my choice by the end of the week.

Do any of you know whether Owen has an admitted students website (or perhaps a matriculating students website)?

The other two schools I have been accepted to have sent me links to personalized admitted students' sites with a great wealth of neat information (timeline to get things done, links to Class of 2018 social media groups, moving information, etc.). One even has a 93 page PDF "Admitted Students Guide", which gives a lot of useful insider info about the program. I was wondering whether Owen does anything similar?

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: Thinking it over-- perhaps all of that information is in the admissions package that we will receive in the mail. I didn't even think of that possibility before.

Adcom told me that they were working on a new admitted student website and it should be up and running shortly. We'll probably have some more info with the package.

Hi everyone,

Congratulations to all of you who have been admitted to Owen. I am planning to apply in Round 2, and your achievements inspired me so much!

By the way, I heard from an Owen alumnus that the full-tuition scholarships are rare at Owen, most of them being awarded to women and minority applicants. I am really concerning about this because my target is to get a full-tuition scholarship, and because I do not belong to above applicant group. So any of you could please share me whether you get a full-tuition scholarship package and some information about your profile.

I really appreciate any information. Thank you!

Haven't received the package yet.

I think the deposit is $1.5k, but I'm not sure.

Hey! I'm a recent admit who was awarded one of the full-tuition scholarships to Owen. I'm neither a woman nor an underrepresented minority, and my GMAT score (while solid) wasn't anything crazy high. When I got the call about my award, the AdCom representative cited how impressed the Owen team was with my overall application package (especially the interview, essays, and on-site interactions). I worked diligently to really tailor everything in my application specifically to Owen, and I think doing so had a great effect in the long run too. So, based on my experience, Owen really does assess everything holistically when it comes to scholarships. It really felt as if Owen was looking for a great fit (smart, ambitious but friendly, extroverted, etc.).

Good luck!

I did not receive a full scholarship, but 40k per year, which for me pretty much felt like one ;). I do not come from an underrepresented group, although my academics and gmat are pretty stellar. Still I also had to overcome the stigma of a thirty something applicant making a pretty big career switch. What helped me, i believe, is that Owen was the program I fell in love with and I made sure that I let that passion come through in all my interactions and made a case for why Owen was the best for me but also how I would contribute to the school.

Owen featured in this Poets and Quants programs to watch for 2016. Thought it may be relevant to us in decision mode.

Got this advice from a mentor past week and it has been very helpful to me-- when you have two great options on hand, & after all the hours of thorough analysis they are in a dead heat, it comes down to the intangibles.

Would you rather live 2 years in Texas or in Tennessee? Which campus do you see yourself bringing your kids back to visit in 20 years? Which school's students/fellow applicants seem like people you can see yourself keeping in touch with throughout a 30+ year career?

Picking between two "wins" is a great problem to have. Congrats on the offers

Got mine today in Southeast US.

Also, the official admissions letter that came in the package is now scanned on the original Application Status page.
