My experience at Darden:
9:30 - First Coffee - It seemed like every student and faculty member came out for this. People were drinking coffee, eating bagels and donuts, discussing cases, talking about their weekend, and speaking with the corporate sponsors of the day--Cargill
10:00-11:30 - Read the case for my class visit. I would have toured the campus, but I decided to read the case because I did not want to be the prospective student who gets cold called and does not have anything to say. Turns out, I overprepared; prospective students are not cold called.
11:45 - Operations class. I introduced myself and answered a "question," which is a surprise for prospective students! The class was enthralling; it was all discussion-based, as most people know. The case was on Progressive Insurance, and some of Progressive's management was there to answer questions. That tallied 2 companies on campus that day! Impressive!
1:10 - 1:30 - Met with The Pelihu, talked about Darden, and discussed the application
1:30 - 3:00 - Lunch and tour with 2nd years. We ate in probably the nicest dining hall/restaurant that I have seen on a campus. Not to mention, the campus is amazing!
3:00 - 11:00 - Made my way home to South Florida, where, surprisingly, the weather was cooler than Charlottesville!
