Saw the traffic on here and thought I’d jump in having used GMAT Club as a resource. I was accepted to Owen in round 2 earlier this week. If I can be a resource to anyone shoot me a message and happy to help any way I can.

I was scheduled to have my interview today, but the interviewer did not show up at all. I have reached out to the adcom in order to reschedule it, but this was a weird experience.

Did you finally interview with Owen?

Hi Nikhil, I have my interview scheduled for tomorrow

Hello, congrats on your admit. Could you please tell if you applied in Round 1 and deferred to round 2 due to some procedural delay? Or you applied in round 2 itself?

They use a special unique platform for interview, be prepared and email your interviewer with a backup plan, like Zoom, in case it doesn’t work. It didn’t work for me for example and since I hadn’t, I had to reschedule all from begining

Tidefan How was your interview experience?

I interviewed with a 2nd-year student and it was very conversational. Typical interview questions like why an mba, why Owen, and what am I looking to achieve in my career? I recommend reaching out to a student ambassador to discuss the school and answer any questions so you can be prepared to give solid answers in the interview.

Lukas911 Can you let us know your interview experience? Thank you

I was asked a few questions similar to other debriefs. Tell me about yourself; what was the most impactful job throughout my career that shaped my personality. He asked about my biz venture (cuz it is my current startup); why Mba; why Vandy; contribution to school/community; tell me about a time I led a team; deal with difficult team member then I asked him 3 questions. That’s all

Heads up for those with planned interviews, Owen uses some proprietary web system for the virtual interview. I had issues on Microsoft Edge and had to switch to Firefox to make it work. Probably best to join early and install a second browser if you don’t already have one

Sorry for the late response here. It looks like I don’t have notifications on. Answering some questions I was asked below.

Stats: I’m a U.S. military applicant with a 3.71GPA in a business undergrad and 7 years of work experience to include time in special operations. I also had a GMAT waiver.

I applied round 2 in early January and received an invite to interview the next day, taking the interview a week or two after the deadline. I received my admissions offer late last week.
