Its a bummer to be on the waitlist, I know from experience. Good news is that Darden has one of the highest waitlist acceptance rates for top schools. Good luck!

To answer my own question - got an email stating that there were no free moneys for me :)

Did even a single applicant got dinged? All I see are admits and waitlisted candidates (like myself). Plus 16% waitlist conversion does not look very promising.

I heard that if you perform in the top 15% of your class you can get a scholarship for the second year there .

FROM Darden Admissions Blog: Alumna Profile: Hillary Lewis & LUMI Juice


When she enrolled at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business in 2011, Hillary Lewis was no stranger to eating on the go. Already a Wall Street veteran, she was committed to both a healthier lifestyle and to gaining the tools needed to help her become an entrepreneur.

But what was she going to sell?

It was at a local grocery store where Lewis got the idea for Lumi, a cold-pressed, organic juice made from fruit, vegetables and an extremely high-pressure system. She’d read the label of a juice manufactured in New York that used high-pressure processing, and she decided to bring the method to Charlottesville and create a completely organic juice product.

“You drink Lumi today and you’re like, ‘Whoa, it’s really intense,’ because it’s so much nutrition and so much flavor. It tastes the way food is supposed to taste,” she said.

Lewis began the business process while still at Darden. After the idea sparked, she built a plan alongside her co-founder, associate professor of business Kenneth Lichtendahl, who had robust experience in the beverage industry.

This post is an excerpt from a news story originally published by the University of Virginia. You can read the whole article on the UVA Today website.

Fantastic idea! From idea to actual product, from the actual product to actual sales. I am amazed at how Darden played a role in this entrepreneurial venture throughout.

FROM Darden Admissions Blog: Forté Foundation Conferences for New & Returning Women at Darden
In previous blog posts, we have introduced you to the Forté Foundation, a group we partner with in their mission of launching women into fulfilling, significant careers through access to business education, opportunities, and a community of successful women. Whether you are a newly admitted MBA student, or you are already part of the way through your degree, the Forté Foundation has a few events coming up in June:

For women newly admitted to the program, Forté’s Financial Services Fast Track is taking place in New York, NY, on 2–3 June 2015. An introduction for newly admitted MBA students interested in financial services, it provides an opportunity to learn more about the endless financial career possibilities for. The application deadline is 8 May 2015.

All MBA women are invited to attend The Forté MBA Women’s Leadership Conference in Washington, DC, on 19–20 June 2015. This year’s theme is “Let’s Power Up!” and will have thought-provoking speakers, customized sessions, and one-of-a-kind networking. The early-bird rate of $199 is available until 15 April 2015.

Darden student Rachel Penny (MBA ’15), who attended one of Forté’s conferences prior to her first year at Darden, tells us,

“What I loved most about attending the Forté Women’s Conference was being surrounded by so many intelligent, motivated women. Coming from a predominantly male-dominated industry, it was impressive to see the support system that women truly have in business through Forté and our schools.”

The conferences also provide new Darden students an opportunity to connect with classmates. Rachel adds, “I especially enjoyed meeting the other Darden women prior to coming to school, being able to build a foundation of friendship a few months prior to arriving.”

You can find more information about opportunities for women at Darden, including more about our partnership with the Forté Foundation, here.

FROM Darden Admissions Blog: Jacob Shmukler (MBA ’15) Chosen as 2015 FASPE Business Fellow
Jacob Shmukler (MBA ’15), was chosen by FASPE (Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics) to be one of 12 business fellows who will participate in a two-week program in Germany this summer.

FASPE, a unique international ethics program now in its sixth year, explores the history of the Holocaust as a way to engage graduate students across five different fields (business, journalism, law, medicine, and religion) in an intensive study of contemporary ethics in their discipline. FASPE provides fellows with the opportunity to visit Auschwitz and travel in Germany and Poland, and helps them learn how to apply the lessons of history to the current ethical challenges they will confront in their own professions today and into the future.

Congratulations, Jacob!
