Finally got an invitation to interview when I almost lost hope. My status has not changed for more than one month. It seems that Darden is sending out results of round 2.
For Darden, interview is very very important. You dont have to worry your GMAT or TOEFL since the interviewer will know nothing about you before your interview. But you need to know what you really like about Darden, how it fits your career goal. Tell them the names of Darden students you ever talked to (very helpful) . Darden is a small community, which puts a lot of weight on the team work and the community atmosphere. Just be yourself. Darden likes its students to be a member who can contribute to the "family" since this is a relatively small program. A common comparision b/w UMBS and Darden is that UMBS has a strong alumni base but every alumnus of Darden will die hard for Darden's students. Another suggestion -- be passionate and proactive to conduct the interview. Don't let him/her control the flow.
My status was updated yesterday, too, but is just WaitList.
I do not get interview invitation, so what does the only Waitlist mean? I think it may mean that I need to wait for an interview invitation. So, hopeless, right?
