Calling all Owen(Vanderbilt) Applicants: (2016 Intake) Class of 2018!!

No, they consider India with English as official language. So if your undergrad is from English speaking institute, TOEFL/IELTS is not required.

I am applying in round 2.

There are two components in the application : one is electronic and another is submission of hard copy of GMAT score and transcripts through post.

Did I understand the procedure correctly ?

I am in doubt. Plz plz help !

Thanks

My understanding is that official transcripts only need to be submitted if you are admitted and accept the offer. For purposes of the application, an electronic copy attached to your application is sufficient.

You will self-report GMAT scores in the application itself, but official scores should be sent to Vandy from the testing center prior to the application deadline.

If anyone else has a different understanding, please clarify. Thanks!

Would anyone have any idea whether applications submitted for Round 3 (March 1 Deadline) are considered for scholarship automatically?

No matter when you apply to Owen (whether it is during the regular admissions rounds or during the rolling admissions phase later on) your application will be considered for scholarship money. Good luck!

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!

Is there any leeway in recs being submitted, or do they need to be in by tomorrow at app deadline?

I just received an interview invite for Round-2. Had submitted my application 4 days ago.
Looking forward to this

Best of luck to all of you!
