Darden Interview

I had an interview and class visit at Darden yesterday. The interviewer was very friendly (even though she was dressed in an intimidating manner :-) ), and interview went smoothly.

I had a class visit before the interview, and what struck me the most was the camaraderie in the class. This was my first B-school class visit, and somehow I always had this preconceived notion of very serious, grumpy MBA students out to cut one another's throats. But it was the complete opposite! Everyone in the class was friendly toward each other and they were very cooperative. The case study method seems unstructured but I came away feeling that this is a great way to simulate the real world and more importantly, a fun way to learn.

I will be hearing from Darden in about a month. Meanwhile I am on vacation and having a great time in DC. I will go up to NYC in a couple of days and then head back home on Sunday.

Look what I found on the web when I was trawling for interview tips: Undressing for success! Feel free to post your comments and personal experiences :-)

Darden update

My application status is complete and I am visiting Darden for a class visit + interview next week. After the interview, I'm traveling to DC and NYC and hanging out with a bunch of friends that I haven't met in ages. Woooohoooo!!!

I have only one egg in my basket, hope it makes a nice omelette ;-)
