Hi,
The people who had their Olin R2 interview could you please share your experiences?
I have my telephonic interview scheduled on 23d Feb so any feedback will be of great help esp Hansy77 since u had telephonic interview too.

Thanks

Well for me the Olin interview lived up to the school's reputation of a close knit community school.
My interviewer really breathed in her enthu into the interview and that really helped me loosen up for the intrvw.
So dont be too worked up about it, i know as cliched as it sounds..stay cool..or atleast try to...
As for questions..well the usual ones..why mba? why olin ? your leadership expereinces...
No surprises as such...It is very important that you talk about it rather than tell them about it ...
All the Best to everyone, I too am keeping my fingers crossed :)

Best,
Hansy

well said hansy...
it was more of a conversation with the interviewer. She knew a lot about India and stuff. She went into the details of work ex and learnings from it. It was almost 45 minutes but enjoyable...

Be urself guys...thts the advice

all da best

PS: I think there is some confusion... i started this thread for washington Olin.. hopefully everyones posting for the same

Hi Symbolved,
When did you interview with Olin. Anyone with an admit here ?
I was just wondering we are nearing the R2 results deadline, and no R2 admits so far ?

Thanks Hansy & symbolved for sharing your interview experience.

Hi All,

I have an admit from Olin. I had applied for R1. I have got a decent scholarship as well. For R1, they sent the results to all applicants at once. I think it was on 22nd of December. I had a personal interview with one of the admission committee members. It was a formal interview. The questions were the usual ones. Why MBA? Why from Olin? She asked me a lot about my work-ex and what I wanted to do post MBA. She was writing down everything I told her. As mentioned by others here, she knew a lot about India. My suggestion for you guys: Be calm and be clear about what you want to say and enjoy the interview. All the best guys.
