Good Luck all, I am going to release my spot (and half scholarship) at Olin, as I got a better offer from Notre Dame and have family connections there. Hope this helps someone on the forum!

I'll be there, getting in early Friday afternoon, leaving Sunday night. Looks like some good events planned Fri/Sat, and then I'm going to do apartment browsing and general sightseeing Sunday. Looking forward to meeting everyone and checking out the campus.

the two questions that threw me off a little were: Where do you get your news? Tell me about a time that you stood up against a majority.

The rest of the questions were pretty standard stuff about qualifications and interest in the program.

Agree w/77. I was slightly thrown off by "where do you get your news?" Otherwise, it was a very friendly, non-aggressive discussion. Just make sure you are comfortable with the basics -- Why MBA, Why now, Why Olin? What do you bring, how will you contribute, and how would others describe you? Make sure you have done your research on Olin, and it will help if you have already initiated contact w/current students, faculty or alumni. Admissions team is very friendly... Hope this helps. Good luck.

Anyone have any advice about either going to Georgetown vs WashU(olin) ... I really liked Olin when I visited there but feel like Georgetown would have more recruiting opportunities based on location. I am interested in either Consulting or Banking.
