Yesterday I was fortunate enough to attend the MBA information session conducted by Darden at Oberoi hotel, New Delhi. I have attended many information sessions but this one is the best. The amount of time the prospective students got to spend with the school alums is priceless. A special thanks to Darden alumnus Gokul Chandrasekaran who was really helpful. Dean's speech was excellent to say the least.
I was not so sure about Darden before, but if the alumni I have spoken to are any hint, it's a great place to be part of.
Things learnt:

Things learnt:
- Darden is THE best school for general management
- If you want to learn the philosophy of business, with its case method based teaching, Darden is the place to be
- Darden has a very rigorous curriculum
- Class size of 300 and small city setup contribute to a very close-knit community(similar to Tuck)
- Typically, Indians constitute 10% of the class
- Darden = learning + fun
- At Darden, people greet each other with the words "Waa hoo Wah," meaning a fish that drinks a lot.
Overall a very satisfactory event; gave me a break that I needed from work and GMAT. Completely recharged.
Hey Rajendra, This is Jaidev. I had messaged you in FB earlier. All the very best to you too!
