Darden MBA Essays
Darden MBA Essays 2010 - 2011
Essay 1: The Darden MBA program expects students to actively participate in learning teams, the classroom, and the broader community. Please share one or two examples from your past experience that best illustrate(s) how you will contribute to this highly engaging and hands-on learning environment. (500 words)
Essay 2: Please discuss how a global event that has taken place in the past two years has impacted the way you think about leadership broadly and personally. (500 words)
Note to applicants: The Darden School has distinguished itself this year by the quality of its application questions (the worst), the incompatibility of it's Web site (doesn't work with IE9), and the crappiness of its online application contractor (Symplicity).
This is one of my favorite MBA programs, but the user experience for applicants is total crap! Hate to say it, but Darden wins the award as this year's worst MBA application.
