Another week bites the dust and hardly any news from Olin. I have received interview invites from schools which are much higher ranked than Olin, its baffling why would I not hear from Olin. But then again a number of strong candidates haven't heard back. The school surely don't care about its reputation.

Same here. Well I think most of us just applied for the $0 application fee and no recommendation letter requirement LOL although it will still be good to get an offer as a good backup

There's still a few big names that havent sent out invites so they are not an isolated case

Well two people already got interviewed. Maybe they will combine all 5 rounds and do all the interviews in May or something lol that would be fun.

Honestly we troll so much here, this thread is great because we get to release some of our anger we got from elsewhere lmao

I contacted them recently and was told the admission committee is still reviewing round 1 applications. So there is still hope.

Just with all the wondering and trolling messages, Olin's thread has got to almost 10 pages. Quite amazing actually.

When I look at previous year's Olin thread, the interview calls were out at the beginning of October itself. Even the first admit announced himself/herself on the 10th of October. I guess, by this time last year, the adcom of Olin must have been done with R1.

There can only be two explanations to 2015's anomaly :
1. They have undergone a drastic change in the way decisions are taken and selection done. May be, because they have such a minimalistic app, they have decided to do selections directly without interviews and will announce the decisions close to the decision date.
2. They have read all the trolling done on the GMATClub and have decided to take revenge and not invite any GMATClub member to interview except for the ones already invited at the very start. In this case, Olin stands to loose out because the average of GMATClub members is much higher in every parameter compared to the school's average.

I hope the first is true. Don't know how they would know which of us is an applicant with our user names being totally unrelated to our names.Wow. Look at me trying to hold on to Olin still.

Or the third explanation: They received a higher volume of applications than they were anticipating and are behind schedule.
