For international students interviewing via Skype/phone are the interviews with the adcom blind?

Yes. My phone interviewer mentioned this before our discussion started.

I think this is standard for Darden whether you interview on campus, via Skype, or with an alumnus. The interviewer won't have seen your resume, recommendations, etc.

Does anyone know if the interviews for international applicants are different content-wise than those for domestic applicants? I've read on this forum that the standard Darden interview is the "tell me about yourself" and then it goes from there.

Thanks! My interviewer hasn't mentioned this in our correspondence so this definitely helps. Did you email them your resume before the interview?

Hi everyone.
I've just scheduled my Skype interview on 4th march. For people who have already interviewed via skype: how was the experience? were any unconventional questions asked ( apart from the why MBA, why Darden, why MBA now, describe your past, you future goals etc.)? What did you wear ( full business attire, or a little less formal)?

Would really appreciate you guys sharing your experiences.
Thanks!

Another international applicant from LA.
Interviewed this week in my country.

Now in my application appears:

Quote:

MBA: Your application has been submitted. Thank you for applying to Darden.

Does anyone has the same?

International here as well. My app page used to say 'You have been invited to interview' Now it just says 'thank you for applying' But the interview tab is still there along with my interview schedule.

Blank? Do you have the "thank" message too? Or just nothing

"MBA: Your application has been submitted. Thank you for applying to Darden."

I wouldn't be concerned since you've already interviewed.

Guys, nothing to worry about. I emailed Darden about this, and was informed that "They are changing things in the system, updating certain areas". Hence, the blank status doesn't mean anything.

yes i think there's nothing to worry. International applicant here, and my status has went blank about a week ago. It used to show the thank you message. I emailed Darden about this, and was told my application is under review.
