The following UVA Darden MBA interview questions & report were submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 1 applicant. Good luck to them!
I interviewed via Skype and the interview was pretty much like what you hear about the Darden process. It was very conversational and completely blind, meaning the interviewer had not even read my resume.
You really just need to know your story, your goals and why you have decided to pursue an MBA now and at Darden. Overall it was really relaxed and the adcom was very friendly, but you certainly shouldn’t lose your guard.
These are the questions I was asked:
1) Tell me about yourself, your family background, education and work experience
2) Why do you want an MBA?
3) Why Darden?
4) What are your immediate goals after Darden?
5) There was a question on teamwork and relationship building
6) What do you do for fun?
