Hey guys,

I want to ask if I can negotiate about my scholarship with the admissions officers for OLIN. I so want to go to US and just got a meagre amount. Can I tell them that I would increase my GMAT score before coming or anything like that.

I would love to have your inputs !!

I asked the same question, plus to adding a small essay with the hope of increasing my profile, but Ashley said the scholarship for me will not be changed. She did not answer specifically to my question about a GMAT retake. I think she will not say anything about such uncertain thing. So if you (and me) believe in ourselves and really want to join Olin with a better scholarship, we should retake the GMAT, get a higher score, and ask the adcom later.

I think retaking first and then negotiate will be a better option. Also, if you have other offers with higher scholarships amount, it would be easier to negotiate as well. Good luck.

It has been really quiet from Olin after submitting my deposits. Like there is literally no news and I am still waiting for the new living cost to work on my DCOF. Hopefully things will go smoothly!

Continuing the "really quiet" topic, did Olin send any physical admission package by mail? I would need to change my permanent address if so. UNC sent a cool welcoming video package by mail.

Nope, I don't think Olin sends packages by physical mail...unless I am somehow missed out.

Thought you were going to UNC lol?

It is mentioned that they don't accept recommendation letters so they are not optional and there is no way in the application to include them. You submitted your application so you should have known about this right?

No, it is not. But if you are looking for such "not silent" thread, where there is someone patient enough to answer your above question, then you will not find any in this forum.

Good luck! I find Olin's communication to be....less than desirable. Hopefully it will improve once most of the interview and review wind down. I still have no idea what's going on and what we should be doing now lol does anyone here know what to expect at this stage know we do not even have the numbers to fill out the DCOF?

I was looking through last year's thread and apparently from the first week in March we may be getting "the binder" - A thick package with most of the instructions and pre-mba materials...

So I know how you feel... the inaction is dreadful... but a lil more patience... enjoy the funemployment period :)

Why don't you call Olin to ask about it?
I've just received the invitation to the Admit Weekend. The event would be very interesting, but it seems impossible for international students.

Good luck to you! I tried to negotiate more but was not successful. So I asked for an extension for the deposit deadline, but no feedback yet.
