Owen (Vanderbilt) Class of 2016 Calling all applicants!

One week to go! Fingers crossed

Thanks, this is a test. If I get accepted, I think I'll do the Vandebilt experience weekend over the UNC once. I'll be sure to go for the Thursday though to get that full experience. It would be nice if schools staggered their experience weekends a bit.

so..... I still havent received an interview invite till now... so this is the end of the road for me, yeah?

Mine is the same. There are to options: 1. Dinged and 2. Waitlisted without interview. Feeling so upset

In! See y'all on April 11th.

Did you receive a phone call?

Welcome!!!

did you see owen jumped to 25 in usnews?

when and how did you learn the result? many thanks

Just out of curiousity, why did you choose Owen over Tepper, Kenan-Flagler and Johnson?

I've gotten into UNC, and am waiting to hear back from Owen and Ross.

I wrote a big review on my decision. Look on my profile.

I'll explain my Philo. Think of your MBA like a trip. You want to get from point a( current job) to point b (new job). You can buy a plan ticket ( tuition). Cornell 110, unc 110, Ross 110, vandy 92. You can also get discounts (scholarships). Now about your destination. Cornell airline flies anywhere on the east coast some west coast. Ross pretty much the same. Unc anywhere in the southeast some north east. Vandy south east and some northeast. If you only want to go to the north east you probably wouldn't buy the cheaper ticket at vandy. But if you want a south east destination vandy. Also some places have nice airplanes (towns the MBA is in). Vandy is in Nashville awesome weather awesome night life cheap cost of living. Cornell and Ross are cold and in the middle of no where. Unc nice weather ok town. So if you want a 1st class flight to the southeast its vandy. If you want a seat in coach to the northeast well go to Ross or Johnson. I thought this would be a better read than just the normal fit, location, cost speech.

I recieved a phone call today around 3:00 PM EST from a 615 area code. The adcom informed me that I was admitted and that they are trying to let folks know by phone before the Friday release because the welcome weekend hotel blocks are expiring this week (Welcome Week = April 11th). Phone call was followed by email with scholarship information and details on welcome week.

Thanks so much for your info!!! Hope I can receive a phone call soon

Just got a call from Vandy. I'm in with a 25k/year scholarship.

UNC would cost me 110k since they didn't offer me a scholarship, Vandy would cost me 42k. Lets see what happens with Ross.

What I feel like isn't discussed in your analysis is ROI. With a higher ranked school, wouldn't you have the benefit of making more money in the medium and long-term (assuming a scholarship makes a lower ranked school better in the short-term), and then possibly being able to settle down wherever you want because of the locational flexibility offered by attending a high-ranked school?

any international one knows the decision?

Hi congrats.. where are you from?
