The Darden School of Business seeks to improve the world by developing and inspiring responsible global leaders.

We require one recommendation as part of our application process. Candidates may include a second recommendation with their materials, if desired. However, you will want to be sure this additional recommender is offering new insights regarding you and your candidacy. Our recommendation process is completely electronic, and your recommenders will fill out two pieces of information — a ratings grid in which they will evaluate you across a set of competencies and a series of short answer questions. The short answer questions are: Please provide a brief description of your interaction with the applicant and, if applicable, the applicant’s role in your organization. How does the performance of the applicant compare to that of other well-qualified individuals in similar roles? Describe the most important piece of constructive feedback you have given the applicant. Please detail the circumstances and the applicant’s response.

For most Full-Time MBA applicants, a one-page resume is sufficient for those with under ten years of professional work experience. Consider using your resume to highlight your leadership and impact. What have you accomplished in your roles? And whenever possible, try to quantify your results. In addition, a resume is also an opportunity to display your personality and offer insights about your passions and interests. Hobbies, favorite activities, books you’ve read recently, podcasts you’re currently listening to, countries you’ve visited. It’s all fair game. Including a few of these personal details can help us get a more complete picture of you.
