Darden (Virginia) 2013 - Calling All Applicants!

Have any of the wait listed candidates from R1 secured an admit?

Did anyone hear anything about $$$ today during their calls?

Congrats to all the admitted candidates....
Probably the final hour or so for others to expect a call

Nope! not me.

Guess its a no go for me. This sucks. Really thought I'd put together my best app and interview.

Kind of surprised too, I was waitlisted last year and subsequently improved my GMAT score by 70 points and thought that I nailed my interview this time around.

Yeah it's depressing. With your stats I thought you'd be a shoe in. Do you have other options?

Same here... UVa undergrad, Darden alum wrote recs and interview went way over in a good way. Maybe I offended someone there while in college? Oh well, congrats to everyone who got a call today! Fingers crossed there are some late calls or, like round 1, just an emails with no calls around 12:01 EST.

I asked about merit scholarships and was told that all of the information related to our financial package would be included in the official "snail mail" acceptance letter. I'm curious to know, however, whether that's what they told me because I didn't receive anything or if that's actually true.

Anyone else receive info about $?

Why are people freaking out? No one on here has any idea how late they will be making calls or if today is the only day they are making calls.

I'm disappointed. I thought my interview was great. I'm not sure what my problem is but I've been wait listed at 3 schools in a row and now darden looks like a rejection or wl too. I have a very non traditional background so maybe schools just don't want to roll the dice on me. It's a bummer though I really really liked Darden.

I think freaking out is an overstatement. For the most part we're just basing our judgement on past cycles' call times and the current time of the day, and saying that our chances seem slim.

I was also told the same thing; it was from Sara Neher (Assistant Dean for Admissions), so I am taking her word for it.

I don't think anyone is freaking out, we're just disappointed. Actually we do know that today is the only day calls will be made because official emails go out at midnight. Hopefully you're right that there will be more calls tonight, but it's almost 5 in Charlottesville and I haven't seen anyone get a call in a while so it seems like wishful thinking.

Just wanna confirm, were there any accepted candidates in R1 or last year who received just an acceptance email at 12:01 EST with no calls??

I definitely understand the sentiment (I'm fighting it myself!). But there's no need to get down yet!

Hopefully. I'm waiting on three more decisions that should come out next week, and sitting on one waitlist from last week.

Appears to have been at least 1 last December. Flip back to the board posts from then to look around (think it was around December 19th).

From R1:

A helpful sliver of hope... keeping my fingers crossed for you all.
