I see some strong points in your profile- Excellent GPA + GMAT score show your academic capability. The work experience looks on an upward trend and I hope you will back it up with a solid resume. I'd like to know more about your extra curricular activities and what you do on the side apart from work - that can help round out your profile and make your candidature that much more valuable to b-schools. Are you doing any R2 applications, or were there more R1 b-schools where you applied?

Apart from work I have some involvement with non profits
And
Undergrad club leadership

Also I applied to stern and Cornell as well in R1

You should easily get the invite for Darden (unless it is guaranteed that is 😇) and i think you can consider a variety of options though there is a good chance Darden will still give you the best offer in terms of Aid and Admission package

Thank you for your reply! I have applied to Cornell and stern in R1 as well, haven’t heard anything on interviews still shows as submitted on the portal

Fingers crossed - the interview invites is a barometer for you to get a sense of how schools see your profile after a quick cursory review. You submitted the application just a few weeks ago - they have not gotten to the Darden one yet 😇

So can I expect any interview invite from stern and Cornell as per your experience? Few others have received invites but the status is still submitted for me

IMHO, there are no guarantees in life and MBA applications. Your high score and profile can be easily kept to a side if your career narratives, essays, achievements, and LoRs did not come together to create a compelling story. I have seen 770's being dinged. Just manage your expectations. Best wishes.
