Hi everyone, so just to reiterate my previous post, I acknowledge my lack of activity being the moderator of the forum. But I had two back to back interviews (with Owen being on 6th Nov).
My interview was with Jake Hedgecock, a 2nd year student at Owen. The interview was very relaxed and totally conversational. He was very encouraging.
The questions were the usual ones-
Tell me a bit about yourself.
Why MBA?
Why Owen?
Difficulties overcome and how did you overcome them?
Cross-cultural experiences and a couple more behavioral questions.
Hobbies.
Any questions for the interviewer
My first ever MBA interview was on 4th (Tepper), which, though was not bad, did not go as well as expected. But I made sure not to repeat the mistakes and to improve in the Owen interview. Towards the end, I apologized for giving lengthy answers to maybe a couple of questions (in case it cut down the number of questions that the interviewer could have asked), but he said it is not a problem and he only wanted to make sure that I have a conversation going.
Overall, it was a very positive experience, and though you can never really know for sure until the results come out, I can say I am fairly optimistic.
