Hi everyone.

I applied to round 2 and just got interview on 28 January. Does anyone know when I could expect to hear about the result?

Thanks a lot.

I believe all Round 2 applicants will be given their result on or around March 13, based on the website. Not sure if Vanderbilt notifies anyone earlier based on past years, but you should at least know by March 13! Good luck! Hope it's good news!

So, we would wait for a long time :) thanks

Yep! I'm right there with you, too. Interviewed at Discover Weekend in November and applied in Round 2 - still have to wait until March. :?

Of all the documents that I have uploaded, I can only see transcripts in the proof. There is nothing to worry, as they would have informed you if you had any pending documents. Also, getting real impatient for the invites. The fact that few applicants have already received invites troubles me even more, lol.

Haven't gotten that one yet. I got another one, though, saying, "We have successfully received your letter of recommendation from XYZ to Vanderbilt University Owen Graduate School of Management." But, this rec was submitted the day of the application, so I think that they are starting to put the files together for review, at least those that have not yet been reviewed. Fear not, friends :)

So I sent them an email regarding why my application is still on 'Submitted' and not 'complete' or 'under review'. Also can I expect an invitation anymore? Here is their reply :-

Quote:
Thank you for your message.

Applications show as being "Submitted" throughout the reviewing process. Your application status page will be updated with further information by the decision release date of March 13th. An evaluative interview is required before an offer of admission can be extended, but not all applicants may be interviewed. Should an interview be necessary, we will communicate with you regarding the steps for setting that up.

We appreciate your patience throughout the review process and are always to help with any questions or concerns you may have.

Somehow, it doesn't sound reassuring, at all. :(

Do you guys think that there is still chance?

My status still says "submitted," but I received an email about two weeks after submitting that my application was complete. I wouldn't worry about it too much. I'm sure they're bogged down with reviewing applications. Either way, we'll know for sure in just under a month!

Just had my interview with the Admissions team. Conducting interviews in the midst of storm warning is something unprecedented and shows the commitment of team. Though it wasn't my top choice school but lately speaking to students and seeing the career opportunity in my area of interest has made me change my mind.
Coming back to interview - It was very conversational. Starting with my career path and following up with Why MBA, Why Owen, How would I contribute, Constructive feedback and whom did I talk to? It was super cool and super fun. Keeping my fingers crossed. All the best to everyone !!

The school's official policy is that all decisions will be released on March 13th. However, on my visit, the counselors alluded to potentially releasing decision dates earlier than this. No real clarity was provided on when that may happen.

The offers all go out on that date. If you have another offer from another school that has a deadline they will work with you but other than that you have to wait.

I just had my interview last week with Tami Fassinger. It was an amazing experience. Everybody was very friendly and very open. Even the other candidates interviewing were also very friendly. I say that because I have had the opportunity of interviewing at McCombs which also emphasizes on collaboration but the people over there appeared reserved. My personal thanks to thisisatestonlyatest for sharing a wealth of information about the program on this forum.

As far as the interview questions go ; here is what I was asked and I hope it will help you prepare better:

1. Why Vanderbilt Owen
2. My Goals
3. Weakness
4. Strengths / What do you bring to the community
5. Why MBA
6. Working with Others
7. A 2 minute pitch
8. Questions

Throughout the interview there was a lot of feedback and discussion on some of the points that I made in my answers. Nothing negative but rather discussing deeper how the school offers what I am looking for and how I could leverage the opportunities at the school to achieve those. I make this point because its very important to not lose your chain of thought if it happens and be ready to get off your answer and get back into the groove to answer where you let off.

Be yourself and you will leave happy. Fingers crossed! The culture at Owen really impressed me.
