Awesome!! Congratulations!


Will you be attending Darden or do you have other options?
I will be attending Darden. It's the only school I applied to.
That's great! Now I have someone to bug while I am going through the Darden application! :D

My friend got into Darden as well.... he's ecstatic but is now in a tough predicament. he was accepted to Darden but waitlisted @ NYU. I think he'll end up going to Darden though.
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

I assume he is interested in finance??

I ended up getting waitlisted at Darden, havent loss hope though. Just means I need to give them a better reason to pick me over the other round 3 applicants and waitlisted people.

Jmitchell, don't give up. I know a lot of other people are withdrawing in favor of other schools, so places on the waitlist are opening up. I would write an optional essay to them confirming your interest in the school, and visit if you haven't already done so. Best of luck to you!

Yea that is the plan. I have been taking some classes to get ready for business school so I plan to call on monday to reafirm my interest and ask a few questions then send an update a week before deposits are due with things I have done since my application. I may have someone send another letter of support as well. At this point all I can do is maybe show them weakness in my app that I have fixed and show them my love for Darden. Congrats on getting in, maybe I will see you around in the fall if I am luck :) .
