If you scroll up, or go up in the discussion, a few pages, you will see that this is an indication of being admitted 😉

🥳 Congratulations! 😂

I received a mail asking to join a Zoom call at 9:10 EST today.
Are all calls acceptances or do they call and tell you you're rejected or waitlisted? Not exactly sure of the process here 😅

That would be one miserable job to call people and tell them that they have been denied. Can you imagine the awkwardness and the cringe? This would be a good TV show 😂😂😂

PS. Congratulations. This means admit.

I submitted the application on the final day, does it have any impact on this calling/zoom invitation policy? Are they kinda following FIFO method?


Most schools do not follow the chronological approach. I think one of the outcome people in the in the spotlight fair actually mentioned that there’s no use in submitting your application early unless the program is a rolling admissions program like Columbia, for example. Unless Darden does a rolling at some point, it’s not chronological, however, there is some method to the madness … someone is first in someone’s last and sometimes it’s just random 🤷‍♂️

Some folks may require more reviews and more debate. I’m sure the admissions have three buckets. One is a yes, and the other one is a no and then a maybe. So likely, the yes, candidates were put into the system first, and then the maybe candidates got filtered in overtime. This is just a guess. 😇

If you look at Live Wire most of the US residents got called yesterday- I believe Indian and other international residents are getting calls later
Also I think many people here mentioned that you don't necessarily need a call - they may just update your application portal with the acceptance

Congratulations to everyone who got a call / zoom invite. Hope y’all get good scholarships too.
Can y’all please share your GMAT scores and work experience (months) here? That would be really helpful. Thanks!

Class size and acceptance may not correlate exactly as students would receive an acceptance but decline to join
