Just got my interview invitation! Anyone have tips for the skype interview? (Would have loved to have flown out there, but given the tight turnaround, I can't afford flights at the moment). Any thoughts on whether I'm risking a ding by not paying a premium to go out there?

Did you applied in R3 (1st Feb) deadline ?

Speaking as a former adcom- but not for Olin-- I can only give my opinion here-- but I think that if you can't afford the flights given quick turnaround time- that is not something that you will get a ding for. Yes- going to a school shows and extra layer of commitment- but if they like what they see in you- I would not worry that a skype interview will negate that. Just be careful in skype to make sure you have good internet because a bad connection can make the interview more difficult- thus perhaps lowering your odds there if they could not get a good read on you. But other than making sure you have your technology up to snuff-- such as directly connecting computer to internet for the skype call-- I would just focus on doing a great job showing Olin you know and love them!
