So I have been on the Wait List for Darden since Rd. 1 and it is my top choice. I applied to 4 other schools in addition and my MBA quest has brought me to Chicago, Upstate NY, California, and CT. Last week I had a business trip in France and while I was there I was fortunate enough to get a meeting with a member of the board of Alumni for Darden. He is going to write a letter for me and the meeting was basically run much like a job interview.
I am also planning to retake the GMAT one more time - although I am not in love with the idea, Darden did ask if I would consider it. I have also sent them regular updates on my profile and kept in touch.
My fingers are crossed, should hear by mid march. Does anyone else have any additional ideas?
