真是恭喜了！

Darden的确是满快的。我也是round 2。很快就收到interview invitation了，因为在上海，没法校园面试。但是因为现在一直很忙，而且也很紧张面试，所以约在1月份面试了。

敢问面试的情况怎样？都提些什么问题？还有，dukesongyi，又没有拿到奖学金呢？

Darden的面试一直被认为是最kind and relax的，没有tough的问题。我当时是Commit 面试的，的确很nice. 大约40岁的woman，上来先把所有她将要问的问题说了一遍，并告诉我不要紧张，只是谈话就可以。问题包括：介绍你自己（和essay 的life story），Why MBA, Long short term goal, Why Darden, Achievement, Leadership, Teamwork，都是经典问题，没有任何特殊的。

尽量放松，既然拿到interview邀请说明你的硬件指标已经没有问题了，准备好面试，就等你的好消息了，Haha。

I applied the first round, but I didn't go to campus interview. They put me on the waiting list and ask me for an interview. I don't know....I will go back to China soon. Don't know if I can have an interview there

almost 700 words.  However, I strongly recommend that you can make your essay in 500 words. It is kind of respect to the Ad which I got to know after I submitted my application.

dukesongyi, thanks for your recommendation! It's really a tough job to make it within 500, I will try my best.

p.s. I feel Essay 3 sounds a little bit tricky. The essay doesn't directly ask us what other schools we applied. But to answer this essay, we may have to do so to make the comparison, right? Have you mentioned the name of other schools to which you applied?

3. What is your understanding of how Darden is different from the other schools to which you are applying? Why do you feel Darden is a good fit for you?

I didn't mention any other schools.  The truth is that I only applied one school. Moreover, I believe that you should not focus on comparison, but describe Darden's unique characteristic.

For me, Darden's strong GM reputation, its friendly culture and its full case method are the reason why I am intresting in Darden.

Have you applied for either student loan or scholarship offered by Darden?

Darden provides international students with scholarship.

No.  We cannot apply by ourself. The Ad will decide scholarship after receieved all students' confirmation.  It's about April.  Darden will provide no co-signer loan to every student who fills the application in request-I20 form.
