thats interesting. I usually see Mckinsey on the top of hiring list at most B-schools. Hmm I wonder what it means.

And to more important things. Ms Neher call me please!

I just got to Darden for an interview. It's beautiful here. :)

Hi Guys,
I submitted the application in round 2 and haven't heard back since then... Are many people in the same boat or should I consider this a ding pretty much ? The adcom says that anyone can expect an invitee till March 24th. But does anyone know the realistic timelines as in roughly the cut-off date to receive an invite?

Regards

Thanks longhorn, I've seen this data before, but I'm quite curious as to how BW gathered its data, when Darden didn't even post anything regarding the specific recruitment.

I applied in round 2 and am also anxiously awaiting an interview invitation. I have heard the line that they extend invitations until the final day time and time again, so I'm not sure anyone from the school is going to say anything otherwise. That's very much their party line.

Is it a big deal if you don't send a thank you e-mail. My interviewer never gave me a card and i forgot to ask for one so I don't have their e-mail address. I assume the thank you e-mail is a nice touch that ultimately doesn't really matter.

I know how you feel, nyxjf. Fortunatley for me during round 1, I interiewed on the Friday before decision week, so I waited for (literally) 4 days before I heard back for a response. But at any rate, hang in there and best of luck!

I heard from various sources that if you want to get into BCG, you better have a 730 GMAT. That's for sickos. McKinsey and Bain are more flexible. Consulting means being on a plane 4 days a week. I think its good for your 20's. great experience, but if you have a family, it gets old pretty quick. Still, the training is superior.
That's the scoop...

wp06, I'm interested in knowing where you're getting the information that darden places well into m/b/b (whether it's DC or atlanta). I haven't been able to dig up the factual information from Darden's site, and BusinessWeek doesn't list the top recruits from M/B/B (at least only a few enter these firms)

its hard to find the stats, but i have two friends that graduated last year that are also vets, both work in the ATL office and said there is a significant darden presence (both vets and various backgrounds) for bain in atlanta

they said there are good opportunities for mckinsey in DC but they do alot of work with the CIA and other gov agencies - which for vets is not really helping us broaden our perspective so they took the bain offers...

i will contact them and get something more measurable

that may be true in some cases but i know several examples of people who did not have anywhere near that, i was on the phone last night with a friends at wharton - he was a veteran guy from west point - who got an offer with a 640

i know many people applying there might be studs but it is not an absolute
