Darden [注意]

sfish

Thanks.
I will send them email to confirm this part. But I do not have a lot of choices. The deadline is Jan. 14, the system allows me to set interview as early as Jan. 7 and class visit as early as Jan. 12.
BTW, Xunjie, do you know any first year or second year Chinese students who I can contact before I go to Darden or stay at Darden. I may spend the whole weekend there and finish my interview on Monday (Jan.12), then drive back.

Wahoo

sfish: based upon my research, one surprise thing is that there are couple of health care firms recruiting at Darden (on campus).
Eli Lilly and Company; McKesson Corporation; Pfizer Inc.; Wyeth Consumer Healthcare; Medtronic, Inc., etc (all of them require US PR). At the same time, there are couple Bio firms used to hire Darden FY & SY such as Genzyme.

I just got my MS degree in US, can I get my Tofel waived, Is the town very small, it is possible to get a part time job there?

It's unlikely that you'd have the time to take a part-time job during the first year.

sfish, that's why I was asking if class is in session at that time. If not, then I doubt if there is going to be any students in town.

from Darden website:

FY starts at 1/7 (Wednesday). FY students do not have trational sections anymore such as section A, B, C... and they will be assigned to different "section" such as section 1, 2, 3...in order to share their learning experience with the diverse student body.

But the class format is exactly the same, no difference.

Does it mean I caught the r 2 deadline?

Winder, once your app is received by the school, I don't think it will matter any much which round you are in. Darden is a rolling based school, after all.

To Sfish:
I am a Darden FY Chinese student. Welcome to visit Darden in January. The Spring semester in Darden will begin on Jan 7. On Jan 12, we will have Marketing class and Operations class. They are both interesting. If you want to know more about Darden, feel free to contact me. Or leave your email address, i will contact you. There are still some Chinese students staying at school during winter break.

To Winder:
Do worry about which round you are in. If the admission office think you are qualified, they will contact you. Last year, i had to wait for almost three months to get the interview notice. However, I would suggest all applicants try to meet the deadline around Jan 15, for the admission officers will fly to China for interview around late Feburary or early March.
Good luck to your application!
I just got a news from admission office that Darden is planniing to expand the class size next year, so you all have more chances to get offer this year. Be sure to well prepare your application.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
