Looking at the last years threads, the interview process this year has started a bit early?

5

is anyone else out there on PG who is also applying to Olin???

6

I was searching for this thread few weeks back. I need to further research on this school. This is in my radar though. Haven't shortlisted this school. Is it good for consulting or only finance?

7

I researched about the school, and it does get companies like McKenzie in consulting and the overall placement is good as per the details on the last years thread. I am not sure how the placement for this year went though

8

Is it one year MBA? starting in Jan/Sep? Avg Gmat and Avg salary?


9

when they say tuition fee is $47,800 for 2012-2013 Academic year, does they mean that total tuition fee for students who are admitted in 2012-13 is 47,800USD ? or it is yearly fee and second year fee will be declared later??

10
@msrdon As far as I know, it is the fees for students enrolled in 2012-13. Second year fee will be declared later. Don't take my words at face value.

My interview lasted for about 35 min. The interviewer was a sweet lady who wanted to know why was I a suitable fit for Olin and how would Olin fulfill my career aspirations. She spoke at length about the culture at Olin.

In a nutshell, the interview was basically conversational. But you need to be able to back your answers.
