Darden Phone Interview - Adcom

Just got off the phone with a member of the Darden's admissions office.  The interviewer was very nice and thoughtful during the interview which made the interview more of a relaxed conversation. 

Interview Question:   "Please tell me about your self and your stories".  Very open ended question which I interpreted as "Who are you", "What or who has influenced you through out your life and decisions up to date", "Why MBA" and "Why Darden" all in one package.  The interviewer also asked about my logic of chosing my undergraduate univ. and major while I was talking about my undergraduate education.  Overall, the interviewer want to hear the logic and motives behind the major decisions in your life such as changing employers and etc.

Time:  One hour since the interviewer had interviews scheduled right after mine.  However, the interviewer was kind enough to say that it would be ok to cut into the time of her next interview. 

Summary and Advice:  Upside to this interview is that the interview is open ended and leaves you alot of room to tell the interviewer who you are and why you want to pursue a darden mba.  Down side to this interview style is that you really have to prepare a well thought out and logical story to present your case.  Make sure that every detail you present has a LOGICAL reason behinded it.  Keep your eye on the clock and make sure that you can cover all of your materials.  I didn't keep my eye on the clock and ran out of time before highlighting on couple of my strengths. 

I was suprised how friendly and personable the interviewer was and how the interviewer want to know you as a person rather than how sucessful you are with your past work experience.  So I guess the key is don't forget about highlight your personal believes, thoughts, and ideas and mesh those factors into why you want to get a Darden MBA.

Again,   I have received so much valuable advice from you all from GMAT to applications.  Hope my ideas will help the next Darden interviewee.  Good luck!!!
