With the Darden School’s 2007-2008 application now available online, candidates can get started on the essay questions for the coming admissions cycle. The questions represent a major shift from last year’s topics in both length and style; the second and third essays are now just 300 words each and ask applicants to choose a phrase that best describes them and support this choice in the essay.
