is anyone reapplying to Darden? Is there a fee waiver for reapplicants?

If anyone has given the interview, was it with adcom member?

I interviewed last week and it was with Adcom.

Oh that’s great! How was the interview experience?

The interview was pretty straightforward. Their "conversational" approach definitely showed through in my experience. The interviewer was very friendly and made me feel extremely comfortable. She really wanted to understand what was driving my decision to pursue a MBA and specifically why I was applying to Darden. The interview lasted ~45 minutes in total and the last 5-7 minutes was just me asking her questions that were on my mind. More a personal thing, but one of the biggest drivers for me applying is to gain an international experience and that is a huge deal for Darden right now, so we talked a lot about the various global initiatives going on at Darden. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions or want to talk in more detail about my interview experience. Happy to discuss further.

catdogflynn , can u list some of the questions that were asked

Most of it was pretty straightforward, tell me about yourself, work ex, hobbies etc.

Agree with Rosh11496, it was just tell me about yourself, work experience, hobbies, what do you want to get involved with at Darden, etc. Nothing out of left field. I think they took a particularly strong interest in personal stuff (i.e., stuff not listed on my resume).
