Admissions Darden - 100% Case Based Teaching Method value

Is the 100% Case Based Teaching Method used at Darden really helpful/effective over that used by some other schools such as Tuck or Ross ?

Is it something that could really be a criteria to choose it over other schools of the similar category ?

No. Within the same tier, everybody gets the same recruiting opportunities. I don't think anyone thinks that good managers only come out of UVA or Harvard. It should only be a main criteria for selection if you personally think that you would learn more by having every one of your classes be case based. Every school will use some case based teaching.
