anon10646 Likes Earned: 837 Did you interview at any of the others? Do you anticipate any major profile changes by early rounds next cycle (new work achievements / room for another 10-20+ on GMAT?). Were applications rushed at all / do you think you can improve essays much on redo of apps? At 3YOE you have room to delay, but if worth delaying may depend on answers to the above. As 17117 notes, Darden would achieve consulting results, so it depends if you think you can get much better $ or additional admits in next cycle that would be worth delaying a post-MBA path and salary jump. Citing economic uncertainty and student visa worries would be easy enough to cite as reasons to delay without burning bridge with Darden if you want to reapply. (2)

eliot Verified User. Likes Earned: 1958 Congrats on your acceptance to Darden. Darden is a great MBA program. However, in order to provide you with feedback on whether you should consider reapplying to M7 schools, it would be helpful if you could provide answers to anon10646's questions. (0)
