Didn't see any mention of scholarship in the admit letter.
Question for those who got admitted in Rd 1 and 2 with scholarship: Was the scholarship mentioned in your admit letter?
Those who are waitlisted: Hang in there guys. Keep adcom updated on any career progression (eg additional responsibilities) and reiterate that Darden is your number one choice if accepted (if it is). I asked about scholarships over the phone when they called. They said the do not give this info over the phone, we will get a letter from Fin aid office in the mail package of docs which we can expect in 3-5 days.

actually quite shocked. i was quiet on here today and yesterday b/c I was expecting a ding. Went and gave what I felt was my worst MBA interview of my 5. Will hang on though until one of these schools opens their door. Do you ask for waitlist in your essays instead of an admit? I am very hopeful that you will turn one of them into an admit (hopefully all four of them). Booth is known to admit lot of people off of WL. Good Luck bud They actually set up an app for the waitlist just for me. The essays are more along the lines of what are you ST/LT goals and how do they make you a good fit for our waitlist?

Will be the best day of my life if they do!

I've declined Darden's offer recently. It was a tough call, as I really got to know Darden really well during the application process and really like the school. Good luck to those still waiting for a decision!

Hello,
Nice to see the thread. I am planning to apply to Darden as well. I am just a little surprised on the one essay format of its application process.
Cheers!

If there are any prospective military applicants considering Darden, I wanted to let you know that on Monday, 3 September 2012, we are hosting a Veterans Open House to introduce active military and veteran applicants to the Darden School of Business and its three MBA formats: full-time MBA, MBA for Executives and the Global MBA for Executives. The day will include: • Welcome from Admissions representatives • Distinguished veteran alumnus guest speaker • Career Development panel • Financial Aid information session with the UVA Veterans’ Affairs coordinator • Class visit • Lunch with Darden Military Association (DMA) members • Tour of the Grounds • Student life panel • Pre-Open House gathering on Sunday, 2 September with members of the DMA To register for this event, please visit the Darden Admissions homepage and look for the blog entry dated 24 July. I would have simply cut and pasted the link, but GMATClub won’t let me until I have five posts.

Cheers! There are two mini-essays at the application as well. About career goals (i.e. your elevator speech) and EC activities if I'm not mistaken. But 150 words each. It might have been changed this year though. I actually asked this question of the adcom on Monday over at a live BTG chat and she said the application would have short answers again this year, although she didn't confirm that the topics would be the same.

Another query: I heard that Darden places a lot of emphasis on undergrad GPA and undergrad institution's reputation. Is that true? I have a first class degree but I wasn't amongst the toppers. There was no relative ranking in my university. Instead my undergrad uni used to award absolute marks. Any thoughts on this?

Are the applications for Fall 2013 available yet? My Symplicity portal that Darden uses for applications doesn't show any applications for 2013 yet, but all of the deadlines and the essay question are published. Should I re-register? Thanks!

My GPA, roughly translated into the US grading system, is only ~3.0. My GMAT score & WE are okay. Chances are not high but I do hope I can make it to Darden.
