FROM Darden Admissions Blog: Student Blog: Battlegrounds and Boardrooms
Beginning in the spring of their First Year, Darden students can choose from a variety of global opportunities, experiential learning projects and classroom electives specific to their areas of interest. There are over 100 electives to choose from in the First and Second Year.

First Year Archana Rao writes about her experience in the elective course “Business & Leadership Lessons: The Battlefields of Gettysburg,” where she and several of her classmates traveled to Gettysburg with the U.S. Marine Corps Academy to learn lessons about leadership, teamwork and decision making by studying the history of the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War:

“I was overwhelmed with the plethora of parallels in business leadership that were waiting to be made using strategic battlefield decisions. Be it understanding ‘Key Terrain’ in a battle which directly translated to ‘competitive advantage in an industry,’ to how General Meade of the north ‘manages diversity of commanders’ character’ in his army to how a CEO ‘leverages diversity of thought and talent in an organization,’ there were inferences everywhere to be drawn.”

Read more about Archana’s experience.

I am soooo happy to report that i got admitted from R2 Waitlist. Just got the call an hour or so back.
I am an Indian applicant working in Singapore..this was kind of unexpected as I had lost hope after 2 WL and 3 Dings this year but I guess you never say never. All the best to everyone waiting on the decisions.
Oh and yes they will be informing R2 WL and R3 applicants who get admitted within this week.

Congratulations to everybody accepted in R3 and from R2 waitlist!
I was waitlisted in R2, and didn't hear back from them after R3 decisions. Does it mean that the waitlist continues?

FROM Darden Admissions Blog: Giving Back to the Community: Consulting with Local Entrepreneurs
First and Second Year Darden students have many opportunities to engage with the Charlottesville community: participating in the Building Goodness in April project, collaborating with a local business in the i.Lab Incubator, consulting with area entrepreneurs through student clubs or elective courses, and more.

Shwetha Shyam, a First Year Darden student, reflects on her experience consulting and training local non-traditional entrepreneurs:

“As a First Year student at Darden, I was amazed at the numerous opportunities that existed within Community Consultants of Darden (CCoD) to make a significant impact in the community. CCoD provides marketing, operational, and strategic evaluation and planning services to visionary small businesses and non-profit organizations in the Charlottesville community.


Darden students advising local entrepreneurs at CIC

One such opportunity included helping the Community Investment Collaborative (CIC), a Charlottesville organization which provides entrepreneurial training for local non-traditional entrepreneurs. As a Darden MBA student, I was given the opportunity to interact with these entrepreneurs, draw upon my Darden classroom experiences and give them advice on formulating their own business and marketing plans. It was impressive how a number of them had full-time jobs and were incredibly busy, yet still passionate about starting their own businesses.

Having taken the traditional corporate route myself, it was incredible to see how these entrepreneurs managed their time and worked to bring their ideas to life. They were very flexible, open to our input and willing to do whatever it took to make it. The entrepreneur whom I talked to worked weekends and committed a huge amount of time to the CIC despite the uncertainty around her venture. As a full-time nanny, she wanted to start a nanny business with her well-established network around Charlottesville.

For me, being on the other side of the table, assuming the role of an advisor, brought on a huge rush. I was thrilled that she took my advice and used my insights to inform her business plan. I certainly know my fellow classmates felt the same. A lot of us are still in touch with these entrepreneurs and making sure they are getting all the help that they need! I hope to continue to be part of the CIC initiative during the upcoming months at Darden.”
