Indian Engineer Male at T-10 School

Experience during the program

Darden does a great job of finding talented students from across the world and putting them through an academically rigorous program where everyone is motivated to contribute and work hard. The alumni network is strong, and alumni are passionate about helping newcomers to break into their intended fields. Career support is great for consulting and IB, however, tech lacks behind peer schools. The career support is also augmented by clubs, which do a great job of prepping future consultants and bankers; the tech club has improved its role from the previous years but is inconsistent in support.

Charlottesville is a nice city to go to school in and is well-connected with DC and Richmond. The fall is the most beautiful time of the year and there are many hiking spots and activities to do around the city.

The major challenge for the program is balancing the high pressure of academics with other commitments - health and wellbeing, recruiting, personal relationships, hobbies, etc. - you cannot have it all.
