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.

Anyone else having this same problem? - I submitted on 1/6 and at first my application status said "Your Application: MBA: Thank you for applying blah blah". For the last 2 weeks, it has just shown "Your Application: MBA:" and that's it. Anyone else getting this, who hasn't heard back yet about interview or ding?

To be honest I don't think there is a status "update" if nothing is happening (yet).

Mech, that's exactly what I'm seeing. I've heard back from all my round 2 schools except Darden. But they do say its possible to get an interview invite up until March 26th, so guess I'll just have to be patient.

Mine simply says "your application" and noting else! In the lower area it says submitted as your does. Should I speak with someone? and no i have not heard back yet or been invited to interview.

I think by this point it's pretty well established that the Darden online application is a little quirky to say the least, so as long you got the email confirmation when you submitted (more of a receipt, really), I think you're all set.

I officially withdrew from Darden today. Hopefully that frees up a spot for someone else on GMAT Club!

Darden is a great school - I was really impressed both times I was on campus. I'm sure everyone who ends up at Darden will have a fantastic experience. Good luck all R2'ers!

What about you ACNguy? What is your first choice?

My interview with Darden is next week and is probably my first choice.

I havent "officially" decided yet, but at this point I think I'm 90% leaning towards Fuqua over Haas. I've been back and forth a ton of times....so ask me next week and maybe I'll give you a different answer. Ha.

I plan on attending Blue Devil Weekend at the end of March; assuming everything goes well and my fiance likes it, Duke will likely be my choice. I certainly feel VERY fortunate to have this decision though!

It's hard to say exactly what my first choice is. I absolutely LOVED my visits to both Fuqua and Darden so I can't go wrong there. Although I've never visited Ross but they do place the best with M/B/B which is my goal...Although, being in at Darden I couldn't be more excited if that's my only choice!

Good luck with your interview!

Indeed it is a nice position to be in! Although, if you go to Haas that's one more potential seat for me at Fuqua! Haha, kidding of course!

You should always bring copies of your resume to an interview. They may not need it but it's always best to be prepared. From my experience, they didn't need it or ask for it (in fact they didn't even have a copy at all) but the interview for darden is like an oral intensive resume anyway so you'll basically recap your entire life to them.

I had my interview this past Tuesday, February 9th. I had mine with a student though the student explained to me that it's completely random whether you get an Adcom or student. They have a scheduler where the students, the Adcoms, and the interviewees put in their availability and it pops out who is meeting with who.

It was the standard Darden interview, with the interviewer starting with "tell me about yourself", following up with a few questions, and then allowing time for questions. Everyone was very friendly and extremely accessible.
