Darden 24

Experience during the program

The school has a great access to the top Investment Banks and Consulting firms (MBBs).
The non disclosure grade policy greatly benefits students to manage academics during recruiting season and the fact that all firms come down to Charlottesville is a big plus, and competitive advantage versus other schools.
There is very strong culture within the school, and the resources to be successful during recruiting are student led, having great access to 2nd years.
There is an opportunity to grow in careers outside IB and Consulting, for example in PE or VC, but that is something specific to the industry as it almost always requires prior experience and that is not the profile of Darden students.
It is hard to argue against the quality and experience of Darden MBA.
