Had Darden interview last Sat (1.12) in the lobby of a hotel. A lady (99 alum) interviewed me. She was nice and very flexible in the interview schedule. When I handed my resume to her, she said it was not necessary. She said Darden preferred "totally blind interview" in order to know the applicant as a person. Some questions: 1) Walk through my resume (she didn't look at my resume at all, just listened to me) 2) Why MBA? Are you seriously interested in Darden? (She cares about the loyalty of applicants very much). 3) Leadership experience. 4) Greatest achievement. 5) Question for her. I asked her what she liked most about Darden. Her answer was "faculty" -- she said the professors are very kind, and accessible, and they taught very well. She also told me that Darden is a very beautiful b-school and the town is very very nice -- a good place to live. Our interview is like a conversation, so I can't really recall many questions. In fact, I asked her lots of questions before she started to ask me. >_< Good luck to all Darden applicants. Don't be afraid of the interview. They just want to know more about you as a person. |
