It's strange that Darden has started to release decisions early. Perhaps only to those who they feel might fit better with the GEMBA program - Better to let these applicants know early rather than leave them hanging until decision date in case they'd like to sign up for the GEMBA program. If there is any Darden Admission Fellow on this board and can verify, that'd be great. I also found it odd that your interviewer said that he's read your resume. AFAIK, Darden interviews are blind i.e. the interviewers have not seen your resume nor application. Those who are still waiting for interview invites - Hang in there guys. There is still a month before R2 decision date.

Hi, I received my interview invite with a darden alumni on13th feb. It was mentioned that i would hear from an alumni within 10 business day, but I have not heard anything so far, Should I drop a mail to darden mentioning the same or wait till 10 Business day get over. Anyone in a similar situation? Regards

Wait until the 11th business day and send them an email.

Are you a domestic or an international applicant?

Hi, I am an international applicant and applied in Jan round.I have not heard anything from Darden yet. Does anybody have idea if they are still sending interview invites? Thanks, Namrta

Had my interview yesterday. Did an off-campus interview with an adcom. Like most people, mine started off with the adcom telling me its a blind interview and to tell my life story. I got carried away and just went through everything that she mentioned I covered all but one question she was hoping to ask. She asked me about what would I be doing 15-20 years after Darden, which is way ahead of long term goal in my opinion. We had some conversation on that topic before she asked if I had questions of my own.

For those who interviewed on campus, did anyone attend a class? If so, what did you find helpful, would you mind sharing? I'm interviewing next week, but all the class visit spots are filled.

It may be worth calling to see if you can squeeze in a class, or just showing up early for one of the class times and asking the admissions office. It was extremely helpful to see the case method in action and a great thing to reference in your interview.
