They are the first session, so hopefully we will know by 6:30 AM PST 😇 https://gmatclub.com/mba-spotlight/?event_id=206

797 People registered for the first session... probably 200-300 will show up 😱

Re: Calling all Darden MBA Applicants: 2024 Intake Class of 2026 [#permalink]
Is there a forum where all the attendees (or people who’ve registered for these school-specific events) could chat?

797 is a huge applicant pool and there would be nothing better than an opportunity to connect with these many people at once!

Hi Everyone! Thanks for joining. We will be having a Darden Chat session with a recent Darden admit in about 10 minutes (right after the Darden AdCOm Zoom Session Ends). You can learn about what worked to get into the program, about the profile of the admitted applicant, and of course ask your questions

Hi Pratik, Do you think MATURE applicants from Non-MILITARY and NON-DEFENSE Background, International status and 15 years of Work Exp. have been admitted to DARDEN Full-time MBA?

Hey guys! I am Meghana from Bangalore, India. I am an engineer with 3 years of work exp in the field of Business Analytics. Do you think that would give me an edge over someone from a core tech background?

Hi nawangagrawal5, I cannot specifically talk about that. I believe the admissions committee would be better placed to answer that question :)

I think this may be a bit splitting hairs... I would say the applications are very diverse and you have to be competitive. Though I am not an AdCom... but Analytics is a hotter industry than programming/etc, so it is more of an edge in recruiting... and perhaps more ability to talk/speak/present/etc

Hi Meghana, happy to see a fellow analytics candidate.

In my honest experience, I believe competitive edge depends totally upon the impact you create. For instance, if a techie says he developed a health tech platform that increased patient outreach vs an analytics professional who says they’ve operationalised and run a report, techie would surely win. At the end of the day, what’s matter is what kind of impact you’ve created

Adding to bb’s point, Darden would also try to assess where you would fit in the community along with future employability. So I would suggest focusing on presenting a strong profile as most MBAs are career switchers and I am certain your current background along will not be held against your candidacy.

Hello,, is it necessary to demonstrate or mention explicitly financial need in the essay or interview to ensure receiving financial aid? Or what would you recommend?
