Anyone here applied with a gre/gmat waiver and received an interview invite or an admit?

Nope, I'm waitlisted for now. I had set some time with him

can someone please share their interview experience ?

Same typical MBA interview questions: 1. He gave a brief introduction about himself 2. Asked me to introduce myself (I somehow answered all his interview questions while introducing myself. Anyhow, he asked the remaining questions.) 3. Why MBA? Why Vanderbilt? 4. What would you bring to the Vanderbilt community? 5. Do you have any questions for me?

: My questions were : Tell me about yourself? Why MBA and why right now? What do you think is your greatest strength? Why Owen and what are you looking for at Owen? What is a gap in your skills and how would an Owen MBA help you overcome these gaps? do you have any questions for me? My interview was with an adcom member as the 2nd years were busy apparently.

All on decision date Mar 14 I guess.

Did anyone attend todays Why Vanderbilt? Vanderbilt MBA program overview webinar. If yes, what was the discussion specific about and were there any key intakes?
