Hi linzhouu

Even I was concerned but the overall placement rate is good (96%) and that must include internationals also... moreover my indian interviewer said he had 3 job offers... so must be nice

I talked to some seniors there....they told me that international students need to do a lot of networking and make contacts with people to land the right job. But at the end of the day it's your determination and career path which matters.

@happyinlove505 .. you are right on target .. other bullet points could be sending you official test scores and your official transcripts ..

Hello linzhouu and everyone else,

I have couple of financing-related questions:
1. I was reviewing the admissions package and I noticed that Olin provides International Loan product that may cover only tuition. So I presume we (and especially students with family) should look for some other sources to cover costs for living.
I have limited personal savings, so I wonder whether there is a loan opportunity to cover living costs while studying at Olin MBA program?

2. I see that by Feb 2014, school will send estimates on the total cost and we must submit the DCOF form to Olin.
If I am offered a scholarship from Olin, where can I indicate it on this form? Source specified as "Other" looks like a good fit, but I am not sure.

If you are currently based in india then many banks do give education loans for abroad studies which covers cost of living too.

Yes, but I guess the maximum amount of educational loan which a bank provides here is around 30 lakhs.

Hi.

I had the same problem, so I sent an e-mail to Evan.
He gave me a new link and the problem solved completely.
