Darden (Virginia) 2013 - Calling All Applicants!

Good luck to those still pending interviews! I'm going crazy waiting for a decision from the ADCOM. The one good thing about a late interview slot is that the awkward wait period is that much shorter.

For those who got interview invites, did your application status changed to "under review"?

Nope, mine is still "Submitted"

I didn't see a change of status on my account. I only knew about the interview after receiving the email invitation.

The waiting period is definitely making me restless! At least you have two WLs in your pocket.

Had my interview yesterday morning. Looking forward to the end of march now.

How does Darden compare to Fuqua for consulting placement? Especially m/b/b? Does anyone have any thoughts or info on this?

WL is a small, small consolation prize. We are closing in on the finish line, fortunately. I'm getting anxious to plan my move back Stateside.

Yeah agreed..WL helps no one only it increases the complications of an already ailing patient to an extent !!
Its not a cure for sure. A life support ?? I doubt..

Hi All!

Excited about the 20th March!

How is everyone feeling?

Real quiet in here...so the interviews r all done I guess.

yeah only 34% interviewed/invited to interview according to the front page. Seems pretty low doesn't it?

And there r more applicants in R2 than R1! May be ppl just not reporting it here...

I accessed my interview invite page -- looks like there are a few slots remaining are for March 11.

Yeah I am interviewing on the 11th. I only got my invite a week or two ago.

So how do they handle acceptances? Do they call the day before the 20th, or something? Anyone know from previous years?

Last year, they tried to call as many people as they could the day before decisions were released. Not everyone that was admitted received a call (international students present the biggest challenge). On the official release date, I received an email between midnight and 2 am Charlottesville time telling me to check my status online.

To those commenting on it being quiet, note that we had a pretty bad storm come through town yesterday and the entire school was without power and closed for the day. I'm not saying that's the reason for silence from Admissions, but it may be a contributing factor. I know people that got invites about two weeks before the deadline and had to scramble to come down to grounds (and were accepted) so don't give up hope yet.
