I mean WA group (from some reason it is defaulting)

Yes there is

Check the admitted student portal to join

Thanks!

Hi, I am also interested in finding the admitted student portal. I can't find anything in the search results?

Yeah, the part when they asked questions went alright and i detailed all answers with situational examples. really the part that went wrong was when I started asking questions related market situation and the industry they have interned in . They went blank on a few questions to which they should normally know answers, then it went on awkwardly and I really genuinely don’t feel I had a fault in that situation

Other interviewers in other schools shared detailed answers with me on those same questions

Can anyone, who got admitted from waitlist share their experience

has anyone successfully negotiated scholarship with Darden? can you please help me and i need some guidance. Thank you

Same! I need guidance too.

If you are choosing between Darden and other programs, this will be a helpful video for you. Stop by while we are live to post your question and network.

Hello! Just took my first gmat focus, scored 635. military applicant, 3.4 gpa from service academy, im 29. Any idea if im competitive? I also filled out A profile review

Welcome! The program average is about 655 or so. Granted There is a bigger range for certain applicants and you would definitely be considered in that bigger range

I did not see your profile request, sorry if it came in earlier and I missed it.

since you’re quite early, and the only thing you can change about your profile is probably your score, I would consider GMAT or Jerry to see if you can improve it to around average. That will give you a much firmer footing if that is an option.

Military applicants are highly sought after by top B-schools (also by top consulting firms). These profiles remain unaffected by excessive character traits, by the politics of the situation, which makes them highly sought after, especially in consulting fields that require significant personal sacrifice. Military personnel are accustomed to making sacrifices during their service and have a remarkable level of commitment, which gives them a distinct advantage over other applicants. 
Your GMAT score, while important, is not the sole determinant of a successful MBA application. That being said, your GMAT does have room for improvement, and I would highly encourage you to consider a retake if possible. But, if you have exceptional projects or experiences from your service that you can highlight, these can also greatly contribute to your application and compensate your score to some extent.
