Hi,

How do you find about financing info (fellowship/financial aid/$$ in short if there is any?). I read on the portal that it will be included in an official offer letter. But so far I received 2 emails, one for the congratulation media clip, and one ask me to check the application status (general message on the application portal). Is the message on the website the official offer letter? Or when should R2 admits expect the official letter? Many thanks friends!

I was told they will be mailing admit packets tomorrow, which would include any financial aid. Depending on how far you are from Virginia, you will likely receive something next week.

People that were nominated for the Jefferson Fellowship (I was not one of them) were told today, but there are plenty of other options out there.

Thanks Consulting2Finance. I am currently based in Asia, so it sounds like the package will not reach me anytime soon :). Thought it would be an email.

Waitlisted! Okay...time to know the percentages (odds)? - Anyone have any insights?

Btw I seem to be amassing a grand tally of waitlists! It would be nice to get 1 acceptance so that I stop panicking!

During my class visit, I saw plenty of students using macs during class. However, the admitted website indicates Windows 7 requirement for Darden's network. I really don't want to run VM or bootcamp. Am I forced to switch back to Windows based laptop at Darden?

As far as I know, yes. Even if you were to be using a mac computer, you will be 'forced' to switch back to windows. This is true even if you purchase a Darden computer bundle (which you'll learn about in the upcoming months).

To respond to some questions above:

1) The next waitlist notification date will be May 16, day of R3 notifications
2) You must have a Darden-configured O/S and Windows based bundle, but you can use Bootcamp and run Windows through a Mac
3) Financial aid decisions will be communicated via the official offer letter that arrives through US mail
4) Please check the admitted student portal for due dates on deposits, etc.
5) Don't forget about Darden Days starting April 20th! We look forward to your visit!

I just declined my waitlist offer. I am 99% sure I will be attending Duke. Congrats to all those accepted to Darden. I am sure I will have my revenge next time Duke plays UVA in Any sport. Yes, I just went there.... :)

Waitlisted R2 w/ Interview out of Midwest US. How long do you guys think I should I wait to send an update to the Darden Admissions staff given that I have enough information for an "update" (though it's not a GMAT retake or promotion) given the admissions office's schedule?

I am no expert, but I'd give ~2 weeks before you send in an update.
Maybe send in another update 2 wks after that.

Good luck!

Can any current student shed a light on the possibility of getting a job at a global consulting firm's non-US office (Japan, Singapore, Korea etc)?
Would I have to apply to the specific office and do an interview at the location? Or can I do a generic interview in the US and get a job overseas for that company?

Also, how easy it to transfer between different office locations within the same firm?
