Congrats and good luck! I have a couple questions about your thought process if you don't mind. What other schools were you deciding between? What are you looking to concentrate in and then work in after school? Are you looking to stay in that part of the country?
I applied to Olin, SMU, Rice, UT, BU and Vandy. I applied with the understanding that I was going it alone in getting my MBA (as in no one else is going to help me pay for it). So, I applied to schools that I thought I had a chance at getting a scholarship at. When I got my interviews done, campus visits done and decisions back I shortened the list down to Rice and Vandy. I ended up choosing Vandy for a bunch of reasons; I really liked their admissions team, I met with the director of corporate relations and was comfortable that I could work for good companies when I got out, I liked there small student to teacher ratio, I wanted to get out of Texas, Vanderbilt is a respected school, Vandy gave me a better offer and Vandy has a good finance program. Overall I felt it was the best fit for me educationally and culturally.
No I don't plan on staying in that area of the country when I finish my degree. I am concentrating my MBA on finance and would lke to do investment managment when I'm done.
Interesting. I applied to Vandy as a safety, but if I get offered a significant scholarship offer it would certainly sway my decision. My reservations are regarding post school; however, as I do not want to end up in the south/southeast. Their alumni network and brand name is no where near many of the other schools I am looking at (eg Texas.)
On another note, I also show my status as accepted, but have not rec'd a call. I'm not sure what this means, but I'm guessing they probably called the admits with the higher (or any) scholarship offers earlier? Idunno, all speculation, but I hope I get the official call soon.

I applied in R2 as well and interviewed the first week of December but haven't heard from them. Owen was my safety school, but now I'm thinking perhaps it isn't since they've sent acceptances out already.

The 2010 Owen thread is locked so I figured I would restart one here. I accepted an offer from Vanderbilt and will be attending Owen next August. I was wondering who else was applying/attending and more generally just wanted to open up another thread for Vandy.
I accepted a scholarship offer. Here are my stats;
GMAT: 700 (90%), 46 (76%) quant, 40 (89%) verbal, 5.5 AWA
Work Experience; 1.5 years risk management consulting, 1.5 years data analyst at an energy company
Undergrad; Graduated with an Econ degree, 3.5 GPA
Extracurricular - I have several committees that I am on for various organizations both charitable and professional.
I look forward to speaking to and meeting some of my future class mates!
