Sure! That’s the best way

Tuck provides waiver but they won’t consider you for sure interview if you submit application before 1st September

You won’t be eligible for sure interview if you want waiver

Any thoughts on timing for early action interviews? I'm currently planning on scheduling for sometime after the application deadline so I know that I'll have all of my materials complete and will have had the time to reflect on them before the interview.

Curious if anyone has any experience (at Darden or elsewhere) interviewing before submitting their application. Was it helpful for finishing your essay responses (particularly in communicating your 'fit')?

I'm applying and am incredibly nervous/anxious! Darden is my dream school. Applied to some B - schools last year but decided to wait due to Covid.
Darden really is one of the rare 4 Case study schools- you won't find it everywhere other than- IESE, UVA, HBS, Ivey.

What is your primary reason?
Show more


My primary reason(s) are the campus setting (nobody if from there, easier to form strong bonds) and the case study method.
