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.

R1 admits: are we (R2 domestics) waiting for FedEx-related emails as far as the admit packets go? I'm getting really antsy about getting the info ASAP.

Me too.
I don't want to send a check to Duke till I find out how much green, if any, am getting from Darden :-D

I'm in the same boat. Waiting for Darden and thinking if I will send US$ 1,500.00 to Fuqua.

I think fengshui and philipsgal are one person. they appeared at the same time here and on businessweek, and both say something about scholarships, and overall things that don't make any sense. philipsgal has also started a thread on businessweek about darden titled: ASK A DARDEN STUDENT: https://forums.businessweek.com/n/pfx/fo ... &tid=84722.

I say she is def a troll

Praet, apparently the user philipsgal, southparker, and inkubus04 is all a same person. Basically, one person is posting questions and answering those same questions him or herself using different IDs.

That is quite fantastic if true. I mean - really - what is the point? Trolling should at least be interactive. Otherwise you may as well do screens of animated gif's

It's the internet, never question that someone...somewhere...will do something unbelievably lame/ridiculous for their own entertainment.

inkubus04

those who received "your application is still with the director", anyone get any answer yet??

I'm still waiting from round 1, it looks like (similar to last year's horror story) i may find out 2 weeks before classes start!!!

Are you saying you applied during Round 1 and haven't heard any decision yet (waitlist, ding, acceptance)?

Sorry, onlyneed1, but it looks like inkubus04 was banned(?)

I can't imagine that they would leave you hanging for that long, though. They should at least give you some word (about how much longer it will take) if you can reach them via telephone.

Yea, he was talking about waiting since R1. I'm hoping that's nonsense.

Just so everyone knows, I am in fact a real R2 applicant and still haven't heard.

Yes, we receivied FedEx emails to track our shipments so I assume you guys should expect the same! Good luck!

I just got an email from fedex about a 2 lb package from VA. I received 2 separate emails with two tracking numbers. Wonder why... They also sent it to my alternative address even after I confirmed with adcom to send to my primary address.. Oh well, an admit package is still an admit package!
Still excited nonetheless!

By the way guys, how did you know philipsgal and inkubus, etc were the same person? Just curious.. I can't believe someone would go through the trouble of creating different users, posting and answering his/her own questions.. Perhaps a way to cope with b-school apps stress..

Forums allow moderators to look at anyone's IP address. So I am assuming all the IPs were same :wink:

Damn! I am smart :-D

Guys,
Sorry for digressing, but I see that many of you show your school accept/WL/Ding statuses through colours on your profile. I just got admitted to Darden, and really really want to show it off in beautiful green like many of you guys have done. Do tell me how to do it! ( being an IT guy, I actually feel pretty lame for asking this question).

The estimated delivery date for my fedex package is April 5th. It's interesting considering that Charlottesville is only 2 hours away...

Yeah, same here; you in DC too?

I'm assuming that this is just the initial FedEx delivery estimate that will probably change. I spoke with the admissions office this morning and they said that the stuff was sent out yesterday and that I'd probably get it today, but we'll see.
