I believe it's 3 cases a day, classes from Monday through Thursday; however, this is the class of 2012's class schedule. Class of 2011 has it the traditional way, with classes reigning throughout Monday through Friday. I believe the schedule for class of 2013 has not been set in stone yet. Judging from the blogs of the current students, classes probably ended sometime mid-December and didn't start until mid-January-ish time. I'm not sure of the other break timeframes.

My heart dropped after seeing an email titled " darden admission office."

It turns out that it's only a newsletter. I should go on a vacation for 3 weeks.

I got that newsletter, too. I remember hating that during round 1 applications because I was expecting to see an admissions status everytime an email from the office comes by. But rarely is that true and all I was getting was coffee chats, online chat, etc. Hang in there though!! Decisions will be out soon.

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

Hi i have a similar question.

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.

Hi,
I wanted to check with the group here whether interview invites for round 2 can be expected even in March. I spoke to the Adcom and they said that one can expect an invite till the 24th of march. But based on history, does anyone know if they have heard/seen invites going out in March?

Thanks in advance

Can the accepted Indian applicants share their profile. I think I will be applying next year and wanted to get a feel for whether I need to improve my score on the GMAT.

What's up with the newsletter that everyone except me received?
Darden adcom, if you are reading this, say something dardit!!!! Even if its just a short message telling me that I am the easiest ding they've ever come across. Even if its short a music clip from Dr. Dre, singing "Ring...Ding... Dong". Now I am electronically moving off this screen and into your finger tips, then inside your head, then I will subconsciously sway you to vote for my app. Oh the madness of the wait! Is this fun for you to watch us this angst? Does this turn you on or something? You sick sadistic adcom nerd, you.

Hi all,

R2 applicant, still waiting for interview call.

I am in love with Darden, and really feel a personal connection.

Can someone with insights comment, if I am following a lost cause, or there are still significant interview invites left?

Thanks.

Jenna Bush's hubby graduated from Darden recently. That would have been a cool experience to attend that wedding and have a beer with W on the ranch in Crawford and then tag along to the after party!

I believe Darden performs background checks prior to admitting an applicant. Once admitted, you do not have to undergo any additional background checks. (Please correct me if my understanding is inaccurate)

I think it's only after you get admitted (or, thats what I've heard from other schools). It's a lot cheaper to perform background checks only on those admitted than the whole applicant pool.
