Just want to confirm if the candidates can still receive the interview invitation even though we dont book the time slots for EA open interview right?
Hi There,

Yes you can. BUT, by invitation only.
Darden guarantees only EA applicants the privilege to self-schedule.

­ok great~ I did not book the open interview slots because they were so close and was worried that I would not have enough time to prepare well.

I am unable to see any open slots since last 2 days. Are they going to refresh the calendar now or will it be on invitation basis only??

­All open interview availability is currently full. Please keep an eye on the calendar as cancellations may open more slots. To interview in Early Action without an open interview, you will need to wait for an invitation to interview after the deadline. Invitations are limited and not guaranteed.

Applicants=16px who apply in the Early Action round have the option to schedule their interview during the open interview period and do not need to wait for an invitation. Please only schedule an interview if you intend to apply by the Early Action deadline of Thursday, 5 September 2024.


Nope after 2024/9/5 (EST), you need to wait for interview invitations.

If your application wasn’t complete, you would not have been allowed to submit.

Since you received an email thanking you for submitting your application to Darden, you can assume that your application is complete.

­I think we are on the same boat. If you did not reserve the spot for Open Interview like me, the only thing we can do is to wait for the invitation.

I think they will send out the invitations from this week to next, as the decision release date is 10/16. I assume interviews will be conducted until the end of September.­

­that's precisely my fear - they might ding me if they feel I'll mess up their yield rate. I love the school, would love to go there. But - yeah not sure.

Hi. Fantastic score by the way, based on my conversations with the admissions teams, they don’t play 3D or 4D chess too well.

What I mean is if AdCom see a good candidate, they will admit them. There’s just too many unknowns. If anything, they may throw in some money if they like what they see and if they are concerned with losing you. But from what I understand, getting denied due to yield concerns is more of a rumor than a real situation. I think mostly people who get denied and cannot accept the fact that they got denied make up wild theories and this is one of those crazy explanations perpetrated - they were too good and that’s why they got dinged 😂

my personally know first year Darden students who were applying last year with high GRE scores and who also got admitted to Haas and booth and a lot of other programs but they got a scholarship at Darden and that’s where they chose to attend. ... so they were not “too good” for Darden and Darden got a really strong student.

It's said applying in EA round has higher acceptance rate, not sure if that is another rumor or not?
