wheelwizard Likes Earned: 2 Hi! So sorry for the late reply - I didn't know there were comments! 1. Yes it was a classic GMAT score 2. Submitted my application 3 days before the deadline and received a link to schedule an online/ in person interview - went for the online option 3. Interviewed with an AdCom - honestly had a great experience. This was my first MBA interview and could not have had a better start in terms of the interviewer's demeanour and attitude. Started with a monologue of who I am - expect to get questions throughout about the why's or elaborations, etc. eg I switched streams from HS to undergrad and the interviewer asked how that felt and what impact I felt it had in the classroom. There were no real curveball qs. I think the biggest things that helped me prepare were - 1. I practice my intro and points - OUT LOUD with other people AND recorded myself so that I could look at facial expressions and eye contact - multiple times. I nailed down the pace, the humour and the genuine energy I had that could have otherwise been lost to nerves. we went through the classic qs - why MBA, why Darden, what questions I had, etc. Very lovely experience. Please let me know if you have any more questions - I have switched on the notifs and will keep an eye in case you have doubts/ need help! Happy to help in any way possible!! (1)
