Darden has made a few changes to their application this year. They have changed their MBA essays for 2018-19 by replacing their main\u00a0500 word essay with smaller essays that cover a larger gamut of the applicant’s profile. Not just this, they have also introduced a new deadline for early applicants: 7th <\/strong>September, 2018<\/strong>. This is a benefit for those applicants who definitely wish to join Darden; and to this end, they are willing to withdraw their application from the other b-schools where they have applied, should they get an admit at Darden. Early application results will be out by October 18th so you, dear applicant, are in for a real advantage! Moreover, this offer is not binding.<\/p>\n

The new deadlines are:<\/p>\n

Early application: 7th September
\nRound 1: 4th October
