Received an interview invite a few hours back. All the best everyone. Posted from my mobile device

Hi all - would anyone be able to share some insights from the interview? Many thanks!

*Posting this again, since I can't see the reply I just submitted I interviewed with Brent Hoff, a 2nd year candidate, via the online portal earlier today. He was very professional and friendly at the same time. Interview lasted 30 minutes but felt short (could be just me). These are the questions I got asked: 1. Walk me through your resume 2. What was your criteria in shortlisting b schools 3. Why MBA and Why Owen 4. What is one skill you wish to improve through MBA and how will you go about doing that 5. How will you contribute to Owen outside the classroom 6. Experience working in a diverse team 7. One time you were part of a project that failed and why did it fail 8. What other schools did you apply to (Definitely restate your desire to attend Owen because it offers xyz that other schools do not) I am a re-applicant and interviewed last year as well. That time I also got asked about one leadership experience and what I am most proud of. Hope this helps. Good luck to everyone!

This is so kind of you, thank you very much! All the best on your application process moving forward!

Best of luck to everyone. I’m a deferral for the class of 2022 so I look forward to meeting the rest of the class! Posted from my mobile device

A new Owen Vanderbilt Interview Debrief has just been posted: https://gmatclub.com/forum/owen-vanderbilt-216/interview_debrief.html#debrief-1065

I realise that being the admin for this particular discussion forum, I've been inactive for the past few days. I have my interview in about an hour now. So fingers crossed. Will post updates regarding the same soon. Thanks

Hi everyone, so just to reiterate my previous post, I acknowledge my lack of activity being the moderator of the forum. But I had two back to back interviews (with Owen being on 6th Nov). My interview was with Jake Hedgecock, a 2nd year student at Owen. The interview was very relaxed and totally conversational. He was very encouraging. The questions were the usual ones- Tell me a bit about yourself. Why MBA? Why Owen? Difficulties overcome and how did you overcome them? Cross-cultural experiences and a couple more behavioral questions. Hobbies. Any questions for the interviewer My first ever MBA interview was on 4th (Tepper), which, though was not bad, did not go as well as expected. But I made sure not to repeat the mistakes and to improve in the Owen interview. Towards the end, I apologized for giving lengthy answers to maybe a couple of questions (in case it cut down the number of questions that the interviewer could have asked), but he said it is not a problem and he only wanted to make sure that I have a conversation going. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and though you can never really know for sure until the results come out, I can say I am fairly optimistic.
