Well DNS123 is the one with the highest GMAT score among the group. Not very hopeful for the invite.. lets see what happens.

I don't think it is only dependent on GMAT score. Probably, other Indians have got an invite as well but are not active on this forum.

By the way, does anyone have a clue on the interview to admission ratio for Darden? I have no idea, and couldn't find it anywhere. Just wanted to have an idea on what are my chances from here.

I read somewhere that they interviewed 41% and accepted 25% (can't remember which year this was for). That comes out to around 60% accepted after interview. I'm honestly surprised. The interview was incredibly easy ("tell me about yourself for 30 minutes"). I am trying to think how somebody screws that up and doesn't get admitted...

With my luck, I will be one of those people :oops:

Got my interview invite yesterday..Indian living in Singapore..I had a question for guys who have been invited for interview or those who have already interviewed in R1..do all international students get only Skype interview option in the email invite and do you have to schedule it yourself?

The reason I ask this is because I got email saying my interview will be with an alum and the alum will contact me to schedule an interview in the next 10 business days. So I am a bit confused that I need to wait for alum to schedule the interview and I cannot do anything but wait. Any international student who interviewed with an alum please throw some light on this process. Thanks for your help in advnce.

My guess would be there's an alum based in Singapore and s/he is willing to be the interviewer. The majority of us got Skype ones. But it's more fun talking to a person than a webcam. :lol:

Good luck!

Just adding to that, I have an skype interview, but a friend of mine who was accepted in R1 had an interview with an alum, and we are in the same city, so the decision on the type of interview may be based on alum availability for the location, and dates required.

Anyway, good luck on your interview, it is always a good sign to receive the invitation.

FROM Darden Admissions Blog: Building a Strong Community for Women MBAs

Darden was recently recognized for being the most collaborative MBA community for women by Nerd Scholar. Through Darden’s Graduate Women in Business (GWiB) club and the “Wednesday 10s” program (see below for information), Darden provides a supportive network for women MBAs and facilitates conversations happening around issues and challenges women face in their careers.

Ashley Oost-Lievense, President of GWIB, and Alison Stewart, VP Networking, discuss the resources GWiB offers to students below:

“The mission and purpose of the GWiB club is to provide members with awareness, resources, support and a cohesive network. As an organization, we have always promoted collaboration among female students, faculty and administration at the Darden School through networking and club events.

Some of our organization’s most popular events for women MBAs at Darden include Wednesday 10s and Diversity dinners, which encourage members to celebrate and learn about one another’s backgrounds over delicious food!

Additionally, just this past year, in an effort to extend our collaborative efforts, we have also invited men to join the club as part of a pilot program to explore better ways broaden the understanding and support for women in the workplace. This has been a really exciting initiative and we look forward to seeing how it develops with future GWiB members.

Wednesday 10s provide an opportunity for women in the Darden community — students, staff and faculty — to have real conversations about what it means to be a woman in the business world. In these sessions women share examples of situations they’ve faced in the past and provide valuable takeaways on how to even the playing field and be more confident business women.”

Starting to think that no interview invite is coming, based on the front page stats matching up to the first round based on interviews/invited to interviews...I know that they go until march, but still each day that passes isn't making me any more confident.

ha, how's everyone else feeling? Congrats to those that do have interview invites though!!

Really starting to get disheartened now. No contact from Darden yet. Considering extreme measures, like delivering the admissions staff cookies (But not really. Pretty sure that'd break a code of conduct.).
