I was a first round applicant for the class of 2013. I’m from the midwest, four years of consulting experience, and interested in general management. I was invited to on campus interview. There were other students that were interviewed my 2nd-year students, but for some reason….I was interviewed by an adcom. She was great, very nice and respectful.
Standard Questions:
- Tell me about you
- Why’d you choose your undergrad
- Tell me about an experience where you had to lead and team and make a difficult decision
- What was a major accomplishment in your life
- Why Darden
- Plans Post-MBA
- Do you have any questions for me
The interview lasted 45 minutes. She explained that there were no right/wrong answers and that she simply is there to assess me as a fit for the program. I have a friend who went to Darden, so he gave me the scoop on the interview. It was pretty much like everyone says, very, very, very relaxed. After the interview, we did a campus tour and had lunch with professors (food was great…some of the local fair). I assume I was being assessed throughout my visit on campus. Turns out they liked me as I was accepted.
