I am in for R2 as well. Good Luck everyone.

I am curious about this question as well. Can R1 applicants remember an approx timeframe between submission date, acceptance date, and interview call date? If yes, it'd be great if you share.

In for R2. Good luck, all!

This whole process certainly has all the wheels turning in my head. Even if I get dinged everywhere, I think I've learned a thing or two.

BOL.

I applied a few days before the rd 1 deadline, was invited to interview on 4 November, Skype interviewed on 12 November, and I got the acceptance call on the 17th of December.

FROM Darden Admissions Blog: 50 Years of Women at Darden — Part 2
Continuing our series celebrating 50 years of women at Darden, this week we’re featuring the story of Mala Bawer (MBA ’79), co-founder and director of Cybersmart! Education. An excerpt from the original article can be found below:

Mala Bawer — Want Peace? Teach Net Ethics Worldwide

Mala Bawer (MBA ’79) with her son.

In 2011, the Ministry of Information and Communications (formerly ictQATAR) in Qatar enlisted Mala Bawer’s (MBA ’79) help to develop a multimedia digital learning program for their country.

A seasoned digital education expert, Bawer knew she was up for the challenge. After Darden, she worked for several media companies devoted to initial Internet exploration, where she anticipated the future need for digital literacy. “Schools needed to be prepared, and they were not. That was very clear to me,” she said.

Read Mala’s entire story in the Winter 2015 issue of the Darden Report.

To learn more about resources and opportunities Darden provides, check out the Women at Darden page on our website.

FROM Darden Admissions Blog: A Partner’s Perspective on Going Abroad
Darden students have many opportunities to study abroad during their time here, ranging from one-week seminars to semester-long consulting projects. A question often asked is, “But I came here with my partner. What can he or she do while I’m away?”

Meet Agnes Filipowski. Agnes is one of our Darden partner bloggers, and in a recent post, she shared the story of how she spent time in London while her student participated in a Global Field Experience.*

Here’s an excerpt from her blog post, “Looking Back at London during a Darden GFE“:

“One of the best pieces of advice that I could pass on to incoming Darden partners:

‘When your significant other/student goes on a “Study Abroad” type of experience through Darden, (Global Business Experience, Global Field Experience, a club-sponsored conference, an exchange program, etc.), consider taking the opportunity (if your schedule and finances align) to join him or her for a time – either before it starts, after it ends, and/or during part of the time the trip takes place if possible.’


Michal and Agnes in Cambridge.

I joined my husband Michal during his GFE last semester, and I couldn’t have been more grateful…

…Michal and I decided to arrive a few days in the UK before he started working in London so that we could spend some time with mutual friends in Cambridge. We found an incredible Airbnb deal that included daily homemade breakfast with a friendly French expat family, and a location on the same block as some of the most popular pubs in town. (We frequented the Elm Tree, for its wide selection of rare Belgian beers.)…”

Read Agnes’ entire post here.

Darden has many resources for partners and families. To learn more, visit the Partners and Families sections of our website.

*Global Field Experiences are now called Global Consulting Projects.

Hey All,

Does anyone know when Darden starts sending the interview invites? Is it on a rolling basis..

Darden had the exact same deadlines for the class of 2016. They started sending out invites on 22nd Jan 2014 for R2. The trends have been fairly consistent with 2016. So we can safely assume that the invites start rolling out within (+-)5 days of 22nd January.
