UVA Darden Admissions Essay for the 2013-14 Application Season
The Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia has released their essay prompt for applications aiming to start their MBA program in the fall of 2014. Here it is:
Share your thought process are you encountered a challenging work situation or complex problem. What did you learn about yourself? (500 words maximum)
Their essay requirement can be confirmed at their admissions website.
(Note: in past years the school has included additional short-answer essays in their application that allow applicants to provide more information about themselves. I recommend you review these short answer questions - if they are in fact provided again this application cycle - and combine your approach to them with the approach you take to this essay question, in order to ensure balance across all of your answers. I'll post more about this later in the season if I have the time).

Virginia Darden Releases 2012-13 MBA Application Season Essay Question
The Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia released their 2012-13 application season essay prompt recently via their Darden Admissions & MBA Blog.
Share your thought process as you encountered a challenging work situation or complex problem. How did this experience change your perspective? (500 words maximum)
There is only one essay question to answer, however in years past Darden has also included a few essay-like questions in their application. They likely will do so again this year, so applicants will have to wait until the application is released to know how much they can write, and in response to what questions.
As always, be sure to check their official admissions pages to confirm all information.
