Darden wrote me that they are so impressed by my professional experience that they would like to invite me to interview to their EMBA program. I replied them with a bunch of reasons why FT MBA is more suitable for me. Their response was that we are not considering you for our full-time MBA. That's pretty self-explanatory.

Darden's Assistant Dean of Admissions - Sara Neher had this to say when asked if we could still expect interview invites (BTG discussion held on 11th Dec '14) "Yes, it is possible to still receive an interview invitation. Some went out late last week and I'll be reviewing the applications one last time between now and the decision release next week."

I think she was just saying it because it the politically right thing to say. How can she expect working people to scramble and set up travel/interview in one business day?

Maybe she was. But I know I would break a leg and a half to reach any corner of the world for that Darden interview. Just give me an invite already! :D

Hi Guys/Gals, I am a first year here at Darden. Wishing you all the best with the application process. PM me if you have any concerns/questions about Darden. The wait will soon be over!! Cheers!

Have a look at the stats, the PT programs are just way less competitive than the FT programs. While there is many people at the full-time program with about two years work experience, there are also many with 8+ years.

Do the calls typically come from the person who interviewed you? Best of luck to everyone!

The best way to learn about life at a particular business school is by talking to a current student. Several Darden students have volunteered to blog about their experiences over their two years in the MBA program. Here are some of the highlights from the fall.

I have an ethics question for you all...I have been accepted into HBS so I will be attending there. Should I call these other schools to cancel my application so that more of you may be admitted? Is this usual practice? I will still like to know that I am accepted and I already pay for my application fee. However, I am feel bad for you all, but will it really make any difference? Edit: Since the decision will be out soon, will it really change anything?

I'll answer your question with another to make the answer more evident: What do you think of someone whose sole reasons for their actions, which come at the cost of a positive stimuli for others, is pride? On a less sardonic note, I'm not actually sure it would change a whole lot - they'd possibly bump the top wait listed person to an admit so you'd be delaying their gratification, but I can't be sure.
