The following UVA / Darden MBA interview report was submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 1 applicant who was admitted. Congratulations to them!
I arrived and waited in the lobby of admissions, networking with other interview candidates. There were about 20 of us. All of the interviewers (both adcom and 2nd years) came out and found their candidates to take to a private interview room.
The interview was as expected from previous accounts. The interviewer explained the format for the first 5 minutes. Then gave me 25 minutes to tell my story. It ended with 10 minutes of Q&A about the school. It actually went by quite fast to my surprise. She was super nice and engaged, and asked a few questions along the way. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience! Much less nerve-wracking than anticipated.
Whatever you do, come in with a plan and stay organized. I was very methodical in my allotment of the time, and was admitted R1!
