Congrats! Good luck on your interview! May I ask which part are you from in the US?
I heard this Fly-In from an adcom at an event! Must be really selective since they are flying your in for the interview.

People who got interview invites,
are the adcoms from Olin accommodating enough to change timings a little or should I accept the time they propose in the interview invite.

Olin admission team is coming to India, in November 2014. I think, they will schedule Indian applicants' interviews during that period. This is just a guess, as last year a few other schools did the same.

Anyone applied during the R1 extension and got an invite? I couldn't meet the original deadline, due to circumstances beyond my control, but then I got an email notification about deadline extension....

Received an interview invite today for Nov 9-10 at Olin's Fall Fly-in event!
I was surprised that they sent this out on a Saturday. Looks like the adcom team is working on the weekend.
Anybody else is attending?

Folks, had my interview (Skype) with Ashley on Thursday. She was very warm and welcoming and it was a good experience.

Pointers:
- She only had my resume
- Know your goals
- Know why MBA
- Know why Olin
- Be yourself and be confident

Good luck to all !

In my interview, I started with my undergrad explaining only the highlights (nothing in detail, only major accomplishments) and then went on to my professional career right away. Since I have been with the same company since my undergrad, I talked about various client that I have worked with, my daily routine at work, major accomplishments so far, awards/promotions etc. (make sure you dont get into technical details and all. Just talk in layman terms). Next I jumped on to my major extra-curriculars and hobbies and interests.

My interviewer did not ask anything about undergrad or workex and she directly asked me questions on my extra-curriculars (be prepared to answer questions as to why do you do XYZ activity).

Moreover, she asked me how I was able to adjust to professional working atmosphere right after college (this was a very generic question and could have several corret answers).
