The endless wait for Darden to revert (had my interview for this dream school on Dec. 7th)... about 4 weeks to go, with results expected by 12th Jan.
Anyone with similar anxieties? Any recommendations for steps to be taken / interaction needed that could give me an edge?
Besides Darden, have received admits from
1) Wash U in St. Louis (Olin) with a half-tuition waiver Dean's scholarship (worth $45,000 approx)
2) Boston U mba with a $60,000 Dean's prize scholarship

I ask for help in deciding between these two safe schools... MBA in Brand Management, manufacturing/technology industry is my focus. From an MBA in Brand Management for my desired industry point-of-view BU (US News #31) seems to be winning - but WUSTL wins hands-down in terms of rankings for mba program (US News #19) and also university rankings (US News #13). The 2 are quite well-matched in placement statistics...
