In the first example, we look at an applicant who had a debilitating fear of pathogens. His mother tried to change his perspective through operational knowledge of germs, bacteria, and virus. The presentation made the case worse. Camping - a uniquely American experience is used as the backdrop in narrating how the applicant overcame his hypochondriac tendencies and learned to apply a new mantra when the day to day challenges are overwhelming.
In the second example, we look at an applicant - a Venture Capital professional, who was raised in a military family where the chain of commands, and “yes-no sir” were music to ears. The command over the room and body language play an equal role in the person’s family as the courage to sign up for combat. The exchange program to Kenya is the backdrop for this narrative. A quiet weekend with friends turns into one of the most memorable life events, breaking assumptions, and a chance to acquire a new value.

How to Answer Essay #5: "What is your short-term, post-MBA career goal and why?" (150 words)
None of the essay questions for Darden MBA are by chance.
Leadership styles are not stagnant. They evolve and change according to the responsibilities, deadlines, experience, and size of the team.
Sharing this awareness is important.
Darden is among the few top MBA programs apart from Harvard, INSEAD, Ivey, and IESE to persist with the Case study method as the primary mode of teaching. The MBA Admission team tried using indirect methods of evaluating the candidate’s fit for such a learning environment where active classroom discussion is valued. But the team has taken a step in the right direction this year by directly asking a question that will give hints on how the applicant will cope with a case study method.
Case Study Method is an integral part of teaching MBA students at Darden. The first year covers the core curriculum while the second year starts with Darden Business Projects and Electives. Darden was among the very few schools to have introduced Experiential Learning with Capstone Leadership Experience.
