Hi Nikhil, I have my interview scheduled for tomorrow

Hello, congrats on your admit. Could you please tell if you applied in Round 1 and deferred to round 2 due to some procedural delay? Or you applied in round 2 itself?

They use a special unique platform for interview, be prepared and email your interviewer with a backup plan, like Zoom, in case it doesn’t work. It didn’t work for me for example and since I hadn’t, I had to reschedule all from begining

Any more admit releases? Esp for India?

I interviewed with a 2nd-year student and it was very conversational. Typical interview questions like why an mba, why Owen, and what am I looking to achieve in my career? I recommend reaching out to a student ambassador to discuss the school and answer any questions so you can be prepared to give solid answers in the interview.

I was asked a few questions similar to other debriefs. Tell me about yourself; what was the most impactful job throughout my career that shaped my personality. He asked about my biz venture (cuz it is my current startup); why Mba; why Vandy; contribution to school/community; tell me about a time I led a team; deal with difficult team member then I asked him 3 questions. That’s all

Nikhil - GRE 315 (Can't remember the breakdown), Industry: Big Law (US/NY), Work experience around three years (4 by the matriculation) - Hope this helps!

Heads up for those with planned interviews, Owen uses some proprietary web system for the virtual interview. I had issues on Microsoft Edge and had to switch to Firefox to make it work. Probably best to join early and install a second browser if you don’t already have one

Sorry for the late response here. It looks like I don’t have notifications on. Answering some questions I was asked below. Stats: I’m a U.S. military applicant with a 3.71GPA in a business undergrad and 7 years of work experience to include time in special operations. I also had a GMAT waiver. I applied round 2 in early January and received an invite to interview the next day, taking the interview a week or two after the deadline. I received my admissions offer late last week.
