Thanks for sharing.Darden is really attracting.

One question: since my toefl score will be ready in the end of Oct.it might be too hasty for me to catch up with the first round applcation.But if second round,I am afraid the success rate for me might be little.

I'd like to know which round did most of the 06 successful applicants submit their materials? Thank you so much!

Hi Superacumen - Be assured, you are going to be fine. Here's what I know:

Total applicants taking China passport - 7

Applied in earlier round - 3 (Sam, Pengming and tao). Applied in 2nd or 3rd round - 3 (Xiaomeng, Shengmin and me/3rd round), not sure about Steven. So basically 2nd or even 3rd round you still have big chance.

Steven - please correct me if I am wrong on above data.

Thank you so much for your reply,Yorkzhong.

I won't be worried about the round.

Wish all of you fine in Darden!

一个朋友告诉我说，你准备入学后贷多少款，就要在I20表上写多少，因为Darden只贷给你I20上写明将来要贷款的数额，我还没来得及到Darden网站上求证，请问各位Darden Alum 是这样的吗？

In this case:  虽然我可以自己负担一部分费用，但我想贷到最高金额，比如Cover 全部Tuition and living exp.，我在I20上写明我要贷全部，那么会不会影响到我通过签证的可能性呢？据说在准备Visa 时 ，要尽可能多的证明自己能Cover 较多的费用成功性才较大啊！虽然想这个问题有点早，但还是希望给予赐教，谢谢！

let me put it this way, there're two years, if you want to take loan in each the year, you need mention it on the I-20, but I THINK you might change the number of the second year afterwards. But for the loan in the first year, since you will need to get loan approval before the school issue the I-20, it's set.

But for the second year, you can change the number if you want. But you do need to mention that you will have loan in the I-20, though the number might be smaller than what you really want.

Basically don't worry about loan and Visa. It is true that you get more chance to get passed if you have more fund from yourself, but it is also true that many people passed with little (or 0) personal fund.

And yes it is too early to worry about loan/visa staff... focus on your application and good luck with both of you

I applied in the 1st round. As York indicated you do not have to apply in the 1st round to get in, but I still recommend you apply as early as possible. Even you cannot stand out in the first round, the adcom will put you in a waitlist and reconsider you in the second round and the third round, which means you can get more chance to get in. The other thing is if you apply in the 1st round, you will know the result in late Nov., and if you get admitted, you will have more options for either your applications to other schools, or your personal life......anyway, applying late is not bad, but applying early will for sure benefit you.
