I also got a call the day before decisions were released. Good luck!

applied Darden R2, no rej or invite till now, any possibility to get interview during the last couple of days before decision date? thanks!!

well, time to say goodbye to darden.

me neither, from China. any updates to you?? thanks.

Never say never, but an admit would seem unlikely at this point unless interviewed. I can't imagine that Darden would still be interviewing folks, as it would leave them precious little time to review the packets prior to making decisions on candidates. I would imagine (*note, pure speculation) that they are already in the process of reviewing and finalizing the R2 admits. Note: I'm a China applicant as well (American citizen). One of my reviewers missed the submission date by a mile and I still got interviewed, so perhaps there is still hope. I wouldn't get my expectations up, though.

Same situation for me..Indian applicant..but i really don't think there is any point now in counting days sad.. at least I expected an explicit ding..that would have given me a higher mental satisfaction.. Posted from my mobile device

similar situation.... no rej, no invite..... looks like I should move on now...Bye Darden

Had my GEMBA interview on 13 march. I applied for the full-time program in R2 but was asked to interview for GEMBA. Anybody else who interviewed for GEMBA as well?

I have had my FT MBA interview few days ago. Liked the experience. After the famous first question it turned into kind of a normal conversation. I didn't keep all my questions till the end and occasionally threw in one or two, so it seemed to me that we really interacted, not just I was interrogated. Very friendly, very nice.

I can't say anything about Fuqua, but I can say that when I visited they played up their Consulting Placement statistics. I believe 9 of top 10 Consulting firms interview on campus, and among the Big 3 they are the best per capita--only Wharton and Harvard compare in numbers (about 10 from each top firm), but given that Darden's class is so much smaller--they are the best per capita... Atleast, that's what I was told. I hope that helps.
