It was nice having a few weeks between when I received my interview invite and my actual interview day. My previous interviews, the most I had between receiving the invite and interviewing was about a week. Right after I booked my flight, I started prepping for the interview. Darden has a get website and a ton of videos. For anyone interviewing, I highly recommend spending a lot of time on their website. I was also able to talk to a few students and learn more about their experience at Darden. In addition to all that, I used mbaMission’s Darden School Guide, Clear Admit’s School Guide, and Clear Admit’s Interview Guide. All of them were extremely useful, especially the Interview Guide, I definitely recommend it. Getting into all of those materials, and especially talking with the current students really got me excited about Darden and my upcoming trip to Charlottesville!
One morning, a couple weeks after getting an invite from Darden, I woke up a little bit earlier than usual – around 4am. I looked at my phone to check the time and noticed I had a new email. It was from Anderson. I opened it up and it said that my application status had been updated. I clicked on the link and logged into the application portal… I had been accepted! Man it felt great! I couldn’t go back to sleep, so I decided to get up and go running. The whole time I was running, I couldn’t stop smiling. I felt so relieved to have at least one acceptance in my pocket, finally, after two years!
Later that day I got a call from a member of the admission committee at Anderson welcoming me. I was informed I had also received a fellowship as well! I was ecstatic! Needless to say, I am so grateful and am looking forward to possibly being a member of the Anderson community.
Next up, Darden interview…
