It is still a mystery to most folks. Darden hasn't released any information, but I am guessing that the Director of Admission is going to make a video blog in November, discussing the terms of interview invitations. Judging from last year's timeline, the interview invitations will probably start going out in about 3 weeks from today (this is a pure guess) and will probably last until the last date of notification.


Thanks!
So if I receive an interview invitation, is the interview date flexible? i.e., if I'm invited in early November, can I request that I interview in early/mid-December?

I interviewed last year and the dates are somewhat flexible. Darden offers interviews on specific days and you can pick from what is available. Tough to say specifically that if you get in an interview, you will be able to pick the exact date that you want.

I think the thing to remember is that if offered an interview, act quickly to take advantage of more open slots.

Any idea how many slots are open each day?

Has anyone read this guy's blog? You always hear a lot about how busy Darden students are but this makes the school seem livable, maybe even fun.

For R1 applicants, has anyone received an email indicating their application is complete? Did this get pushed back b/c of the delay in R1 deadline or should we still be expecting this week?

Does anyone know how much having two typos and 4-5 missed commas hurt the chances of admission?

It does? I think you are misinterpreting it. Mid-decision is Mid-Novemeber. That's when everyone will hear about interview invitations. My guess is that interviews will run up to just before Christmas.

I would say it depends on a lot of factors, such as how many applications does the admissions officer read before yours and how tired are they. They are less likely to see the errors if they are tired. Plus, commas are often debatable, so I wouldn't worry about them too much.

Remember, those 18 accepted were not necessarily the same that reported interviews. You'll notice on decision day that lot of people come out of the woodwork to say "Accepted" without previously reporting when they applied or when they were asked to interview. Thus, the number admitted is generally much higher percentage compared to number applied and number of interviews on this site.

Nope, just don't want to give everyone false hope into thinking that Darden will take over 50% of gmatclubbers, although I wish it was true. I was an admit last year and would sing the praises of UVA until the day I die. Great place.

Was there a wave of interview invites last year or did Darden string them out over the entire period?
