The Best MBA Education Experience | Darden School of Business | Admissions, Scholarships, Jobs

In this edition we speak to Aman Tomar, a student at UVA Darden School of Business. The school is ranked #11 in the world in FT Global MBA Rankings 2021. The School has also been ranked #1 for faculty and consistently ranks 1st in terms of the best business education experiences across the world. What stands out is that in contrast to a lecture-based approach to education, Darden class time is spent discussing cases about actual business problems and potential solutions. Students are exposed to some 600 cases in a variety of industries and functions during their time at Darden. In the wake of COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, the school also deployed additional need-based aid to MBA students through a hardship fund, added more money to back new scholarship resources, created an administrative team to work with students on their housing needs, and even committed to giving students free lunches each day of class for all first-year students throughout the core curriculum. Because of the case method, Darden is a great choice not only for students who want to sharpen their business skills, but for those also looking to improve their communication and presentation skills. Moreover, Darden’s curriculum is general management which allows students to explore different facets of business without being pegged to just one discipline. In terms of ROI, Darden MBA's are among the most highly compensated with Darden ranked as #1 in avg. starting salary & bonus among US MBA programs according to The Economist. Some of the top recruiting firms are Amazon, American Express, Microsoft, Mc Kinsey &Co. etc. For more information visit our website - https://www.gmatwhiz.com/ Start your GMAT prep by signing up for a free trial - https://learn.gmatwhiz.com/?page=signup You can also book a free consultation call with us - https://calendly.com/gmatwhiz/30min This event has been organized in association with Mentoroni, using which you can connect with students from your target business schools.
