terminator12, it’s a subjective question. They both have great programs, so it comes down to what you value and where each school sits in that one category. If you’re talking about purely rankings, I think UVA has a slight edge year to year, but they are very close and I think they switch consistently

Yes - they are timely. I believe they said they would respond with 7-10 business days and they did. Note, I also applied the first day the application opened so maybe there is more for them to process at this point, but not sure.

Has anyone completed an open interview this year? Although the question pattern for the last few years looks exactly the same, it would be great if someone could talk about their experience for this year.

Thank you for your information!

Too bad, I just received rejection on GMAT/GRE waiver from Darden. Meaning, I only got waiver approval from MIT.
