Olin has a low yield rate. So, the number of calls made will be high.

Anyone here got a phone call from the admissions team? Or was the update only on the portal? Also, any news about the $$ ?

She didn't mention anything. But I did speak to a couple of admitted students and they said that any scholarship detail will be present in the admit packet; nothing on the portal

Yield rate is measured as number of enrollments out of total number of admits. Low yield rate would mean that few applicants who are admitted actually enroll in the program. Hope this clarifies your question.

While I do understand that a Whatsapp group for the "decided" students will be of immense help to take it forward, but I'm just curious - won't the group be also helpful for the admitted students, such as me, to help in their decision process? Well, I believe there's a lot to learn from students who have already made their decision and can benefit from their thought process.

One question that Olin will definitely ask would be - What is your criteria of picking on the schools if you get selected to say 2-3 schools? Speak wisely considering Olin's fact(s) in mind.
