Recd. the admission packet. Zilch schol. I was expecting atleast a token ! The rumor has it that Darden has affinity toward GMAT scores while offering scholarships.

Hi all, I am a current student and wanted to congratulate all those that have been accepted. I have just finished up my first semester and am very happy with my experience so far. For those that are on the fence as whether or not to matriculate, I would strongly encourage coming to Day at Darden in February or Darden Days in April. I was a R2 admit last year and actually was leaning towards another school before coming down to Darden Days and meeting many of my potential future classmates and experience the place firsthand (beyond the stress/craziness of my interview date). Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about my experiences at the school and I'll try to answer them the best I can. Good luck to those on the waitlist or applying for Round 2.

Anyone received an email to do background check? Thanks! Posted from my mobile device

Yupp, I got it yesterday too. Didn't expect it to cost so much ($100).....meh

Does anyone know about the arrest/citation thing? I have never been convicted of anything and i have only been charged with really minor things like Minor in Possession of Alchohol Do they care about this stuff? I assume they are looking for rapist/murderers not minor stuff.

I have the same thing (MIP). Haven't looked at the Darden background check, but I did have to include it with my Fuqua application (instead of asking for convictions like most schools, they asked for any charges, citations, arrests, etc. as well). I included a couple of sentences as an explanation (in my case the charges were dimissed)--I highly doubt this would be an issue or would adversely affect you at all, really. It looks like the background check is for matriculating students only. So I assume that I don't need to address it unless I choose to come to Darden?

Just got an email - accepted for the GEMBA Program... applied to the full time prog - R1. Got moved to the exec MBA (GEMBA) interviewed in dec .. Thanks to you all for the help and info!

Applied to GEMBA program (mid-Oct 2012) and just got a phone call two days ago with acceptance. Was also accepted to Stanford Sloan, so I will probably not be matriculating to Darden... GMAT: 700 Undergrad GPA: 3.1 (BS Economics) Graduate GPA: 4.0 (MS Information Systems)
