­I’m based out of India and I still haven’t received a call

Anyone from India received a call?

Any international students received emails or calls? waiting anxiously,.....

Here, it is already afternoon East Asia time and I got no call or email. I guess that means reject?

let’s still be hopeful, at least I didn’t see any livewire from east asia posted

fingers and toes crossed

Can you share your stats?

From India. so now they have started calling Indian candidates. All the best everyone

Received admit call 9:03 am EST. But forgot to ask about scholarship. Is it possible that they don’t mention scholarship sometimes on the call even if you may have received one?

I am based in Dubai

Yes to the above - it is possible

It seems to be very adcom dependent - so no scholarship mentioned doesn’t mean no scholarship for sure

Thanks just have to wait for the letter now 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I also forgot to ask. Unfortunately I didn’t get any. Usually the caller tells the scholarship amount, else it means no scholarship

Usually is accurate but not always. I know of few people in R1 who forgot to ask and then received $ to $$$

I also have the same experience with Fuqua in R1 where I asked and the adcom said look on portal later (vs just giving the clear number)

How long should someone who hasn’t received a call hold out hope? U.S. based, haven’t heard anything yet and am fearing the worst but could just be anxiety setting in.

Has anyone from Southeast/East Asia received a call? It’s getting late and if they were gonna call, they would’ve called already?

I have a SEA friend got a call around 2 hours ago (but just one data point)

Since you are in the US and it’s 11:38am, I get that you are worried but I wouldn’t yet. I believe they are prioritizing Asia at the moment before it’s too late for Asia call

so If you are in the US/LATAM, I expect calls to go through afternoon

Thanks for the response

My Chinese friends have been receiving calls for the past two hours. I have already given up hope.

I received the admit call half hour back, based out of India

Congratulation abhus!

Thank you!

Congrats Abhus!

Thank you!

­Thank you!

I just got a call. Based US so they are still calling people!

based in US*

Congrats Zachh!

Thank you!!

Is there a chance that even after not getting a call we can get an admit over portal at decision time?

Yes, but the odd are against you for Darden. In general, they try to call everyone. Doesn’t mean no call = reject but the chance is on the lower side. However, wait till letter before you jump to any conclusion!

Congrats to all those admitted so far! I hope to see everyone at Darden days in April. Official decisions in two hours

I got a call yesterday around 2 and am in NA no scholarship mentioned so am wondering if it will be announced at 5 when the portal is updated if I am getting anything.

Is it safe to say if i have not heard anything by now that I either did not get in or am on the WL?

Hey all!
It would be great and helpful to everyone who’s applied or applying in the future to Darden, if you could pls update your decision trackers.

Ding after int

I got waitlisted, really enjoyed my Interview. Gutted to the core

i got waitlisted, R2, Latam

Same here, got Waitlisted. Really bummed. Felt i killed it in the Interview

No updates on the portal, previously waitlisted from round 1

Waitlisted after a good interview, did anyone get an email to schedule the feedback call? If so, was someone able to do it for R1 or EA?

Got dinged without interview. Any idea whether Darden provides feedback to applicants? Should i ask for one?

Dinged after a bad interview. But i feel it wasnt bad on my part. Should mail them and tell the interview might have been non objective or something and re interview lol ? ( I know it’s risky but your take)

Who interviewed you?

You can DM me separately if you don’t want to call them out

It depends on who is interviewing you and what ground you have on the non-objective part. Probably won’t help but never hurt to try as long as the claim has a leg

Is there any https://gmatclub.com/chat group for admits?

*https://gmatclub.com/chat group

I mean WA group (from some reason it is defaulting)

Yes there is

Check the admitted student portal to join

Thanks!

Hi, I am also interested in finding the admitted student portal. I can’t find anything in the search results?

Yeah, the part when they asked questions went alright and i detailed all answers with situational examples. really the part that went wrong was when I started asking questions related market situation and the industry they have interned in . They went blank on a few questions to which they should normally know answers, then it went on awkwardly and I really genuinely don’t feel I had a fault in that situation

Other interviewers in other schools shared detailed answers with me on those same questions

Can anyone, who got admitted from waitlist share their experience

has anyone successfully negotiated scholarship with Darden? can you please help me and i need some guidance. Thank you

Same! I need guidance too.

Hello! Just took my first gmat focus, scored 635. military applicant, 3.4 gpa from service academy, im 29. Any idea if im competitive? I also filled out A profile review

Welcome! The program average is about 655 or so. Granted There is a bigger range for certain applicants and you would definitely be considered in that bigger range

I did not see your profile request, sorry if it came in earlier and I missed it.

since you’re quite early, and the only thing you can change about your profile is probably your score, I would consider GMAT or Jerry to see if you can improve it to around average. That will give you a much firmer footing if that is an option.

 

­Usafseen21 Hope this finds you well.
Military applicants are highly sought after by top B-schools (also by top consulting firms). These profiles remain unaffected by excessive character traits, by the politics of the situation, which makes them highly sought after, especially in consulting fields that require significant personal sacrifice. Military personnel are accustomed to making sacrifices during their service and have a remarkable level of commitment, which gives them a distinct advantage over other applicants. 
Your GMAT score, while important, is not the sole determinant of a successful MBA application. That being said, your GMAT does have room for improvement, and I would highly encourage you to consider a retake if possible. But, if you have exceptional projects or experiences from your service that you can highlight, these can also greatly contribute to your application and compensate your score to some extent.

Hi !!
I plan to apply for the September 2025 Intake; I’d like to know if the essay prompts will change or remain the same.

You won’t know of this until June / July when the schools open their applications platform for R1.

sure thanks

Darden T-10. I’ve been pounding the table on this for years. Goo Hoos!

sharing my own scholarship negotiation experience here and hope it will help the peopl

i got admitted in round 2 without scholarships, tried negotiation with my t20 80% scholarships but they didn’t budge

it’s a shame, if they could match at least 50%, i would attend

I dont understand why most of the schools were not generous with founding In R2

*funding

anyone got invite for round 3

clearadmit showing two interview invites on 8th of april

R3 here. Interviewed early last week

this week*

i think there is none other than you who got invite

looks like house is full at Darden

@debrete when did u apply?

Hi guys! Sure there is hope. Last day R3

today is the last day for round 3 invites ?

Hey guys would you recommend writing to the ad-com to get a personalized feedback of why a profile was dinged ?

­Hi, I was invited for an interview on 11 April. I applied for round 3.

thats great

Anyone received more scholarship money from Darden after asking for scholarship reconsideration?

Applied on R3 deadline at like 10pm and received my interview invite on 4/12

I submitted my application and it said to submit the application fee, but it didn’t give me an option to. Did anyone run into this?

Hi Guys!!

I wanted to ask if Darden accepts the Gmat focus from home edition?
