Darden 2021 MBA Strategy Guide

UVA Darden 2021 MBA Application Strategy Guide

This is the completely rewritten 2021 version of our Darden guide — and the prior version had also been a ground-up rewrite, too! We believe in constant improvement here in Snarkville, and we keep gaining more insights and better ways to communicate to you each season, when we work with another crop of successful BSers through the process of getting in. We’ve pulled out all the stops to give you the best advice possible in guiding you through constructing a strong suite of essays to UVA Darden School of Business. This new guide is over 100 pages because of so much that’s going on with this school and their app. INCLUDES DISCUSSION OF THE BATTEN SCHOLARSHIP ESSAYS, AND THE PROCESS OF REQUESTING A TEST WAIVER!

Some might (erroneously) consider Darden to be a “safety school” but they’d be missing out on all the happenings in Charlottesville over the past few years. Darden has had lots of changes in admissions and on campus lately, and they’re seeing a surge of new interest. If you’re interested in going to Darden for your MBA, we’re not at all surprised. They are one to watch and it’s exciting to be witnessing the upswing!

This 2021 Darden MBA application guide can show you:

• How to build a holistic approach across all elements of the Darden MBA essays and application requirements
• How much career goals matter
• How to think about the types of topics that would work best for the “leadership and impact” and the “diversity” essays, what each needs to have, and how to structure them
• What to prepare in your interview for Darden, should you be invited (and we hope that you will!)

We also walk through the Early Action option at Darden, what the pros and cons are and how the binding or not-binding works, who should go for it, and who maybe shouldn’t.
