I have never heard that too, even though I read somewhere that Darden has suggested the some candidates to pursue executive MBA instead of 2 yr MBA only during the interview process. I am 30 yrs old and I have around 8 yrs experience in the IT industry.[/quote]


I recently saw a video session from Kenan Flagler admission committee where she told that there are some students whose chances of employability decrease if in a full time MBA and executive MBA is better suited for them .
I think the same thing happened here. Considering your experience and future aspirations , they have felt you will be more employable after the executive MBA.[/quote]

Can you please PM me the link of this video?

Received the interview invitation today.

However, the dates available are limited to 12 and 13 Feb. Hope to sort it out as I will be occupied on those dates.

Hi All, can i check if everyone recieved an email saying "Thank for your submitting your application to the University of Virginia Darden School of Business. Your application is currently under review" on the day they submitted their application?

There has been no email post that saying your application is complete or anything like that? Since lot of other schools send the same I am confused if my application is complete for Darden or is anything missing since I did not get any completion mail from them.

I think we all received the same email on the day we submitted the app. Since they didn't contact you again, u can be sure your application is complete...

Is there any cut off date for handing out interview invites?

I went through last year's thread and found that interview invitations were trickling in all the way till the end of February. So I don't think we should start losing hope till late Feb.

Received via email...

Below is a blog on 2013 admission decisions, may be similar could be there for 2014.

Hi All,

I am an Indian applicant based in New Delhi. I haven't received an interview invite from Darden yet. I understand that many international applicants have already received their interview calls. Question is, how long before I can assume that I have been dinged by Darden. Any clarity around the last day would be greatly appreciated. I am kind of anxious!

Thanks,

I feel end of this month would be a safe bet judging from the first round. After that chances are very slim.

Just got an interview invite few minutes ago...good luck everyone

Any indian applicant living in India who has got the invite?

Haven't heard anything from Darden.

Same here.. Nothing yet.

Posted from my mobile device

Nothing here too.

Nothing in Brazil too...

Hi, I am from India and stay in Bangalore. I got the invite on 25th Jan.

But what I understood from a post on last year admission that the Darden invite goes on till the deadline. All the best to you guys!
"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."

Customary check - Has any Indian applicant apart from DNS123 heard anything from Darden or has Darden decided to ding us all?
