Thank you all people for sympathy with my ding. I cannot say didn't see it coming, with the lack of interview invite and all... But still, I pity because over the time I really came to love Tuck... Well, time to move on.

murali83, R.E.D., adcxaway, shmegs, I'm sorry guys, I feel your pain. It's a bummer that none of the GMATClubbers got accepted.

Hello all,

For these of you who applied for the first time and you really love Tuck I would suggest not to give up just yet, you know what they say:
"If the first time you don't succeed, you pick yourself up and you try again"

For these of you who were re-applicants this year, maybe Tuck is really not a good fit for you, maybe you will end up at an even better b-school for you and have 2 great years there followed by a great career of your choice. There is no point of going with you head against the wall. Like that song that goes "Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers"

I am really sorry that nobody from GMATClub made it this round :(. Maybe I should swiths to BW forums so that I don't have the same faith :), or maybe they will take gmatclubbers next round because Tuck wants diversity!!! ;)

It's a fun to look after 5-10 years at the unhappened things and the change they brought into our lives and just smile what we could be without those changes.

Sorry about the ding guys.

As with most things in life, the good stuff comes only after testing our patience with stumbling blocks along the way.

I am sure, your admits are on their way.

Hi, i had a question regarding the international exp essay. Should we mention the regions and time period we have traveled or elaborate on the experience it self which would be a mini essay in itself

Tuck Alum Interview [#permalink] New post   17 Dec 2007, 23:23
I just finished a Tuck alum interview. All the questions were standard. It turned out that the interviewer had a similar interest that I had listed in my resume. So he started the interview by asking about that. I do not want to read to too much into this interview. Lets just hope the end result turns out well.

Tuck essays are so damn difficult to write :) so little guidance in the essays questions themselves, just general questions that you have to spend hours thinking if you are approching the questions in a right way :((

oh especially that 'constructive criticism' essay :((( I still have no idea what to write. I don't want to write about positive negative like for example 'my boss told me to not work so hard' because I think this essay should be about something that you did bad, therefore clearly negative and not positive negative :) and the examples that I can think of are positive negatives :((((

well i think it need not be a professional example. Just try to think of something that happened in personal life that you used to improve yourself. Maybe your parents told that you are very disorganized and do not keep things in the right place. You could expand on that and say how you used that to improve yourself.

Has anyone actually written about personal stuff in this essay?

Thanks!

I ended up writing about a personality criticism that reflected on my professional peformance :)
I think my criticism essay sucks :) I think I am basically saying nothing with a lot of words, but I like my sentences they seem motivational :)... the point of my essay is shallow :(((( but at least I wrote something!
