Hi you guy!
Does anyone start writing essay question 2: In what ways would you impact Owen as a student and as an alumnus/alumna? How would you create change within the Owen community?
I find this question difficult and am stuck with it. Can anyone share me your experience to attack this question. Many thanks and good luck to all of you.

I interviewed last Wednesday. It was about 35 minutes plus time for a few questions from me.

It was a really positive experience.

I am very interested in Owen as it gives me tremendous opportunity in Consulting & Healthcare. I couldn't apply for EA (10/1) as it was too early for me.
At that time I didn't have my essays ready. I am almost ready with my essays for Owen.

I wanted to go for Discover Weekend with an interview scheduled but I couldn't plan due to my work commitments. :cry:
What a waste of an opportunity!! Alas!!

I met same ad com team member thrice in MBA fair :-D

Guys, any tips? I see not lot of ppl r active on this forum. Looks like not too many apps for Owen this year.

Share your interview experiences.

have any of the international applicants (particularly those based on India) received an interview invite as yet ?
for those who have been interviewed - did you submit your application for Early or Regular decision ?

I submitted by application on October 1, 2013(Regular decision). I haven't heard anything from the school as yet

I applied in the early round and interviewed a few weeks back. They just updated my profile last night, so hopefully a decision will come before the 15th! The suspense is killing me. Did other early appliers see the same change?

Mine says the same thing. Reading back to some of the posts from earlier classes, I don't think we'll get a decision until Friday. But we can still hope for something sooner.

Does anyone has an idea about H1B to F1 visa conversion? Can an H1B holder apply for F1 visa? I am working on H1B and I have to leave my employer for MBA, so I would need F1.

I heard that H1B holder are not eligible for F1.

Can anyone please help with this?
