I completed my interview on campus this week. While the school speaks for itself, I was really impressed with how well organized the day was for prospective students. It's not shocking Darden has one of the best ranked B-School administrations.
In addition, I was impressed with how welcoming and helpful everyone was, even those outside the formal recruitment circle. After completing my activities at Darden, I wanted to check out the Rotunda and was offered a ride by a stranger. After I decided to walk and explore campus, when I got lost and asked some for directions, the person was an alum that also worked in the alumni career services center and talked to me for 10 minutes about the school.
It was really an enjoyable trip. Darden showed well. Hopefully I did as well during my interview.
P.S. my "task" before class was to name 2 truths and 1 falsehood about myself and have the crowd guess. Luckily, the suggestion of a "dance off" was vetoed.
