Online status updated!
(though it says to enroll in Class of 2015 and the letter was dated Dec 19, 2012... :shock:

)

When will we get to know the Scholarship information ? Has anyone from R2 admits received scholarship so far ?

We have to wait for the physical mail.

FROM Darden Admissions Blog: Round 2 Decisions Released; Round 3 Applications Due on Thursday

Round 2 Decision Update
Darden has released all MBA Round 2 decisions. If you submitted your application in Round 2, you should be able to view your decision by logging into our application system.

For those who have been placed on the waitlist, we encourage you to watch MBA Admissions Dean Sara Neher’s video blog regarding the waitlist process, recorded earlier this year. You will be assigned a waitlist manager who will reach out to you via email when we reevaluate the waitlist in April and May.

If you were not offered admission to Darden, the Admissions Committee offers the opportunity for you to receive feedback on your application at the end of the admissions cycle. If you plan to reapply to Darden next year and would like feedback on your application, you will be able to sign up for a feedback appointment in June. Details will be available on our website in late May.

Round 3 Deadline
Are you applying in Round 3? Applications are due this Thursday, 27 March at 5:00 p.m. EDT. Round 3 interviews will be conducted in late April and those decisions will be released on 6 May. Submit your application.

This Blog post was imported into the forum automatically. We hope you found it helpful. Please use the Kudos button if you did, or please PM/DM me if you found it disruptive and I will take care of it. -BB

FROM Darden Admissions Blog: Full-Time MBA Class Visits

Rather than lecture, Darden professors teach students through the highly engaging case study method. Class time is spent discussing a real business problem and collaborating with your peers to analyze data and propose potential solutions.

We invite you to experience Darden’s case study method firsthand by attending a class in April. During your visit day, you will have the option of attending lunch with a current student, meeting Darden staff and faculty and touring the Darden Grounds.

Class visit opportunities are available Monday through Thursday beginning on 2 April. The last class visit day before summer break is on Wednesday, 23 April. Fall classes will resume in September. If you would like to attend a Darden class before the fall, we encourage you to register for a class visit soon.

There will be additional dates reserved for Round 2 MBA applicants who are invited for an interview. We ask that if you are a Round 2 applicant, please wait and see if you receive an interview invitation before registering for a class visit. You will have the opportunity to register for a class visit after you schedule your interview.

jc1764, I live less than a 10 minute walk from Darden and haven't received my packet, so you're definitely not alone.

For those wondering how much scholarship money is in the game at Darden: Businessweek did some research on actual scholarship offers. Accepted.com put that information in a single chart: https://blog.accepted.com/2013/03/11/which-b-schools-offer-the-most-scholarships/

So 29% received a scholarship offer. I read somewhere else (sorry, no source for that) that all the scholarships are either 1/3, 2/3 or full tuition.

So, if you were not offered a scholarship, don't be disappointed. The vast majority of the admitted students is in the same boat (as am I). And many more were not even admitted.

FROM Darden Admissions Blog: Weekly Wednesday Chat With Darden’s Admissions Committee

Every Wednesday, a member of the Darden School Admissions Committee hosts an online chat at 12:30 – 1:00 p.m. ET. Learn more about the admissions process and the three formats of the MBA program directly from the decision makers. To participate, simply log into the chat at 12:30 p.m. on any Wednesday (except for holidays).

Here’s a transcript from last week’s chat:

Question: What are the admissions requirements for your MBA program?

Answer: We take all aspects of a candidate’s application into account. We will review undergraduate work, professional experience, GMAT scores, essays, professional letters of recommendation, etc. We are trying to get to know you as a person as much as we can.

We are looking for applicants with strong leadership potential who will bring a global mindset and a willingness to share their experiences and perspectives with their classmates. Our students are actively engaged in the classroom as well as outside the classroom, so we are looking for people who want to get involved.

Question: Would you mind telling us a little more about the community at Darden?

Answer: Darden is known for the combination of three key things: 1. The case method of instruction, which involves actively discussing cases about real business problems and solutions in class (rather than just listening to a lecture); 2. our top-ranked faculty who are very student-focused (open door policy, focus on teaching); and 3. our tight-knit community. Students, faculty and staff are all highly involved in student life. It is not uncommon for students to be invited over for dinner at a professor’s home.

Question: I just submitted my application recently. When will the Admissions office send out the results?

Answer: If you applied in the 3rd round, interview invitations will be released starting in mid-April and may continue up until the decision notification date on 6 May. All decisions for the round will be released together on 6 May.

Question: Could you please estimate how many case studies one can expect to go through during the two years at school?

Answer: 600+ case studies during your two years! So you will become an expert at dissecting a case, identifying key issues, and coming up with potential courses of action.

Question: Are there any courses on digital marketing? I am interested in this area.

Answer: Yes, we offer some electives covering digital marketing. Please view our electives here: https://www.darden.virginia.edu/web/MBA/Academics/Curriculum-Electives/Home/

Question: Are there many seats left in the class of 2016?

Answer: We don’t have a set number of seats at this point, as we just released our Round 2 decisions, and those candidates have until 2 May to remit their deposit.

Question: Do you have a minimum TOEFL requirement? And how do you evaluate a candidate’s test scores?

Answer: We don’t have a minimum TOEFL requirement. Most of our successful candidates have TOEFL scores that exceed 100. And yes, we do get all of the score reports, but we will use your highest score in the evaluation of your application.

Question: How important is one’s international experience/exposure?

Answer: International experience can be a key strength in someone’s application, and it can manifest in a variety of ways — study abroad experiences, professional exposure, work with multinational teams.

Question: Who conducts off campus interviews?

Answer: Alumni conduct our off-Grounds interviews around the world. In some remote areas of the world where we don’t have alumni, we may conduct a Skype interview. On-Grounds interviews are conducted by an Admissions Committee member or Second Year student.

Question: Does Darden have on-campus housing?

Answer: We have both on- and off-campus housing options close by. Most of our students prefer off-campus, as there are more options (e.g., newer apartments with more amenities).

Question: I am specifically interested in the EMBA program. Do you have a lot of EMBA students who travel long distances to attend?

Answer: Our EMBA program has grown tremendously over the past few years, and we have folks from the Midwest and as far as the West coast. Our program is structured that you have to come to Cville only once a month to make balancing your schedule easier.
