Looks like there is no pattern.A wave of R2 did go out late jan.Its been a trickle ever since and most probably will continue to be that way.The general consensus is the invites can still happen anytime all the way to decision deadline

How large would you say the wave was? If its just going to be a trickle all the way through,..then thats certainly a bad sign for the rest of us. And why would they release a wave in the beginning like that? Does that mean they completed most of their app reviews prior to that first wave? The lack of information is quite frustrating. Atleast Ross lets the applicants know how many waves are coming and exactly when to expect them. I've even called Darden admissions and nobody ever picks up.

Does anyone know if schools send acceptances early, or do they always wait till the "admittance date" for everyone?

I can't speak for other schools, but I know Darden will wait until the day before decision release date.

Hi all, I am new in this thread, and I am sure this question was already asked somewhere, but if you haven't made it to the interview you will be notified only on the decision date, or would they inform you prior to that? (R2 applicant)

Got an interview invite yesterday. I had submitted a day before the deadline.

You applied in R2? Posted from my mobile device

Are you interviewing on campus or off?

Darden's application portal is down. I called the office and they said that they're working on it and hoping to have it back up soon. I hope it doesn't complicate anyone's 10 business day window in which to schedule an interview.

They are working on it indeed. Thanks for everyone who came to Day@Darden today! It was an amazing day and great fun to meet you all. I hope you enjoyed learning about Darden from faculty, staff and the students.
