Hello,

I had a question about the academic atmosphere at Darden. Would you describe the classroom as more competitive or collaborative? (Any examples would be great!)

Thanks

Even if I am applying to top 10-5 ranked schools (UC Berkeley, Northwestern) and I am a native speaker, but just had a bad awa session? Despite my low score I feel confident that my application essays will be much better written and could remove any doubt of writing deficiency.
