submitted last night. Had a nail biting finish, kept going back to my essay and changing it until the last minute .... phew ....

Now have a question about interviews. For US residents, DARDEN only allows on campus interviews (unless u r on active millitary duty or something). Although am a US resident but what happens if when the invite comes I am out of the country (leisure or work) and am not able to come back within the interview deadline in March. Does anyone knows if adcom would be allow a Skype interview in such case.

As the interview window is too big, I dont think I can postpone my travel plan until end of march.

Thanks in advance.

I would not worry about it too much. When you get an invite, I would reach out to them to chat about your specific situation at that time.

Have you visited the campus yet? If not I might schedule a trip out there prior to your trip out of the country. This way they can see that you know where the campus is, what charolettesville is about, etc. I know one reason they want interviews on campus is to make sure candidates know everything about Darden.

Thanks for the response.
Actually, I have visited the campus quite a few times. My cousin did his MBA there a few years back and I used to visit him 2-3 times a year.

I would call the admissions office to confirm, but you're probably fine. Everyone R1, R2, or R3 would show the same screenshot you show below. It just means that Round 3 is the only remaining deadline.

Thanks a lot for the information.

I actually refrain from bothering the Adcom now and then :-)

,
and Social forums are fairly fast :-D

but nevertheless I will try reaching them on on Monday as R3 will kill the App .

Judging from experience, you can expect to hear interview invites to trickle out started end of next week and will go all the way up to the decision date.

Are any of the Round 1 admits attending Day at Darden?
I'd have to take Thursday off just to get there (from a distant client site), so I'm debating whether or not it's worth it.

I saw a girl was rejected last year but admitted without interview this year.
Does anyone hear any similar story?

I talked to a guy who got rejected (with interview) the first time he applied, and then when he was invited to interview again as a R1 reapp the next year, he called the admissions committee and someone told him that his interview from the year before was really strong. Since he didn't stand much to gain my interviewing again, he didn't and got in R1.

I would not be surprised if the girl you know sought and found similar feedback. I don't think people are admitted out of the blue without being invited for an IV as a reapp, but I don't believe interviewing again is necessary (or even beneficial) in some cases.

Good videos. If they are planning on making any more, it would be nice to see student interactions in the Darden environment itself in addition to these one on one interviews.

Thanks for posting!
