Darden/Duke : +ve Wharton : -ve
Thats the status of my apps. Got admits from Darden and Duke. Got dinged at W :(
Have been keeping extremely busy - as usual, I have my fingers dipped in 475437534757493 pies at the same time. Not getting the time to post or even read others' blogs. Now that things have settled a bit, this should improve.
Definitely not feeling good about W, but no point crying hoarse about it here. Anyway, gotta decide between Darden and Duke now.
And hearty congratulations to my fellow bloggers who have admits from other top schools :)

congratulations, dude!! I am v happy for you... I was wondering about your Darden decision, but as you said you were having a pie'ous' time :)
so you made it to D w/o retaking the GMAT (rem D's feedback)... tht makes it even more awesome :)

Read your blog once before too. Am an Indian, apping in round 2 but don't fit the IT profile .
Darden and Duke are both great schools - I have friends from both places and they are solid. Duke is King of the South - and Darden has built a solid name as well.
I can tell you that GMAT depends from school to school. I have a colleague who attended Wharton and was on thier AdCom and no way in you hell you get dinged on your GMAT for 720 there. But MIT would be a different case altogether.
Good luck on Berkeley - love that campus. Actually Duke campus rocks too.

Hobbes, what's your news? :)
I applied to Darden, too, and I really like everything I learnt about the school during preparation. Application is on evaluation already, and I hope to hear from them soon... D-day is in March.
