That might be because the attachments aren't visible in the html preview. Once, you'll be ready for submission, then you'd be able to view the pdf version. Don't worry, you'll still have the option to correct stuff after viewing the pdf preview.
It was the same with Tuck's application.


No, I'm talking about the final step in the application, just before clicking the submit button... you have the option to preview your app. The app pops up as a new page and you can click on the print button to open it as PDF.
Even in this in PDF, I can't see my 500 word essay and my transcripts :roll:
I don't think I'll have a different PDF AFTER hitting the submit button...
Can you please try it in your app?

Thanks!

Sorry bro, I'm not applying in this round so can't try submitting ...
But based on my experience with this 'ApplyYourself' platform, I can say that this thing has a lot of glitches. If you've checked 3-4 times that all your attachments are properly uploaded and you can see the previews in the application's essay tab, then you should proceed with the submission.
Yesterday, I found a glitch too with Tuck's application and confirmed with Tuck admissions office. They told me as long as the data is properly saved, it will be visible to adcom, even if the application proof pdf doesn't show the data correctly.
Regardless, you should drop a mail to Darden's admissions office.
All the best...

They have mentioned that you can't see the essay in the pdf like in kellogg .. You can only see the essay in the tab before submitting so if it's there then don't worry and may be same is the case for transcripts... So go ahead and finish the application don't worry about this issue..

Main points:
*Avoid leaving blanks.
*Read the app from first page to last to get an idea of how the adcom would read it.
*If it doesn't look right on the PDF preview, you can mail them to ask.
*Confirmation mail sometime next week.

Just submitted my application. Uploads, i.e. Essay and Transcript are not visible.
However, after you click on submit, the essay is still not visible but you will be able to see a tick mark against the transcript which you have uploaded in the "Application Checklist" section.
Hope this helps....

Now the most difficult part begins...waiting...

Do they start sending interview invites Mid November or is that when the actual interviews begin? I'm slightly confused.

When a member from Darden adcom was asked this question in a recent chat this was her reply :

"We will begin reaching out around end of Oct./ early Nov. to schedule interviews and will extend invitations up until our decision release date on December 17th."

Hope this helps.

Anyone else send in the Jefferson Scholar application packet? I'm figuring if I get an invite to interview for it then I can count on being admitted.
