Hey, for people who have gotten dinged/admited, does Olin actually send out an email or phone call? or do I have to check my status to know?

For interview invitation, I got an email.

I got a phone call from Olin to let me know that I was admitted. They said they would send a detailed email later with additional documents.

Were you more creative, use storytelling? Or just straightforward.

It was a free flowing conversational interview covering traditional MBA questions - Why MBA, Why Olin, Leadership skills and failure.
Then had a short discussion on hobbies and career goals.

Lasted for 30 mins.
