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?

THanks

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.

Thanks for your help.

Just received an offer of admission and am very close to pulling the trigger. I need to let it sink in and weigh my options.

Congratulations narmstro. You're finally in. Can you let us know the date you were interviewed on. I got my Skype interview done on 9th Nov. Still waiting to hear from Olin.

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.
