ah yes.. he hasn't been on here in a while... guess there's no need to after you've submitted everything and are in the "hear back" mode

ultraeasy are there any outside fellowships you can apply for if you really want to go to Darden?

That's a great question. One I should be researching right now. Anyone else know about third-party fellowships/scholarships for MBAs?

Thanks, I applied on the 7th. I do not think there is method to madness :) Interview invites do go out up until he decision release date, so I would not be stressing out too much. I know A LOT of qualified people who haven't received their invites yet.
Hang in there!
