Darden released their essay questions today. While it's not the highest ranked school I'm applying to, it might be the one I'm most excited about.

I have no idea what to think at this point. I mean, it is surprising that not one of us would have heard anything. However, considering that Darden has a reputation for selling their admitted students hard, I can't believe that they would notify us via their website. I'm guessing we all got dinged or W/L.

At this point I just hope I hear/see something tonight. I don't think I can go through this again tomorrow!

I'm with you Drew. I seriously doubt we'd be accepted through a website update. I'm guessing we're all dings. I've had this vibe for a while now but I'm still really surprised. I'm sure I'll be here at 12:01 am. I look forward to seeing all your posts. Posted from my mobile device

This. It sounds overly negative, but previous rounds all had phone call admits and every other admit I've had was via telephone first, website second. I don't see them admitting simply off of the site. It's not how MBA programs roll.

lurker here. talked with admissions this morning and they said round three is not a typical round. wouldn't go into any other details.

Ok, so does this mean that we are going to be sitting here and talking on this forum for the foreseeable future until something happens? Because, my productivity at work will definitely be hurt if I don't find out about this soon...
