I interviewed in the US (face 2 face ) even before submitting application online and it was very relaxed. onething i can tell you following this interview i had another one from a top school, and there was Zameen Asman ka farak in the quality of questions asked.
I also recieved a personalized card from the Vandy interviewing lady. I guess all get it...
I will also a application fee waiver.

So what are you deciding ? I guess you have ISB too... What have you heard abt Vanderbilt and what are you looking for.... I am looking at Consulting and think it is pretty good in that...

Well...havent heard anything abt it....but seems like a great school from the website and from what i spoke to the lady in the interview...

I have an admit from ISB, Oxford and vanderbilt...but only vanderbilt with scholarship...so the decision is gonna be needed there...

For schol check the online status....

Hey I dont see any infromation regarding the schol on online status,..
Does that mean no schol.. or am i not looking where I should be looking into.:(

Hi.....
Congrates to everyone who received an offer...
I received offer from vanderbilt with 20K schol and Wisconsin (they didnot mentioned any schol yet). Any thought about these two school.......

hey guys.
i am straight out of undergrad and just received my admit with a $15K per year scholarship to Owen!
during my campus visit, i was very impressed with the student body and the career services.
i will most likely attend Vanderbilt.

Anybody else on here thinking about going to Vandy?

Owen has a great reputation for placement success for international students. the numbers for 2006 graduation class is:

92% of foreign nationals received an offer within 3 months of graduation.
81% of foreign students recived an offer by graduation date (this number is actually higher than it is for americans)

the total compensation package for foreign students for the first year was $104K (base salary + signing bonus + other guranteed compensation)

Deloitte Consulting has a real presence on campus and always hires Owen students. McKinsey also hires on campus. consulting is pretty good at Owen,students have won many case competitions this past year over schools like MIT, Duke, Carnegie Mellon and this will definetely show up in the next years rankings....with that said, the real strength of the program lies in Finance.

hope this helps.
