Anybody know if Darden waitlists candidates without interviews? It's been all quiet out of Charlottesville since I submitted my application so I know an admit is out of the question, but not sure if waitlist is still an option?

Yeah same. Really want Darden to show me some love. Congrats on the Fuqua acceptance. If you get into Darden do you know which way you'd go?

I'm not sure if they do or not but looking at the applicant tracker feed on the first page, the several people that got wait listed round 1 listed themselves as 'wait listed with interview.' Again not sure how representative that is.

Will they be making calls Monday? I saw someone said Tuesday but will they start calling on Monday??

Thanks. If I manage to get in, I will try to visit both Fuqua and Darden before making a final decision. Being based in Shanghai, I haven't had a good opportunity to visit either program while in session. I've got the FF miles all saved up and am itching to burn them of tickets to the East Coast... I am glad to finally be in one program--was worried about getting four dings.

I'm just an optimist. I have no idea if they will notify earlier than that or not. Fuqua was supposed to notify today at the earliest, but I got the call on Friday.

Yeah I understand. That would be nice if some acceptances went out today.

Darden doesn't waitlist without interview (see last question): https://blogs.darden.virginia.edu/admissions/2012/12/05/admissions-qa-application-status-waitlist-and-general-admissions-topics/ This would explain why they have a high invite rate compared to other schools that waitlist without interview.

anyone know what time they generally start making calls?

If you scroll back in this thread, it looks like calls started going out in the morning for accepted applicants. Probably calling international applicants first. Best of luck to everyone tomorrow/Wednesday!
