When I declined two other offers, I personally wrote e-mails to the adcom members who interviewed me and apologized for not being able to join the schools. One wrote back a nice e-mail saying she understood and wished me luck, the other one ignored it lol I don't think it is necessary but it will not hurt if you do it.

Hey Guys.. is anyone over here without scholarship? I've received an admit from Olin (no scholarship), Fisher (Very generous) and Simon (generous). I am an international with a goal of studying strategy and finance in order to move into M&A consulting (post-MBA).

Overall, financials aren't the biggest concern, however, I would like to understand:

1. Whether the strength of the Olin MBA program and placements (for internationals) are better than those of Fisher and Simon
2. If yes, would the ROI and the 'Olin tag' be worth foregoing the scholarship

Would be great if I can receive some guidance from the group so that I can choose the right school.

placements for international students are challenging in all schools (lot of self effort is required) .Your decision among 3 schools depends upon how closely your goals are aligned with schools' location,offerings,etc.
Between what was your GMAT score?

Just received interview invite (Round 3 applicant). Scheduled for the next week - one week or so from the decision release date. so less waiting time this time. Or do they admit on rolling base, right after the interview?

HG10, I'd choose Fisher if I were you. Good ranking (better than Simon) and good scholarship (much better than Olin). What about Smith?

Just curious...has anybody tried negotiating scholarship with Olin? Any successes?

I received nothing from Olin and with a huge offer from Smeal and some money at Kelley I can't justify Olin without any aid.
