Reapplicant here.

BTW, Solaris and others who are on the fence, I would strongly encourage you to visit. Tuck is a love it or chuck it kind of place. I visited, and since I have a family, I found it a great place for a family with a kid. Being international, my spouse anyway will not be able to work in US ( lack of work opportunity for spouse is a major concern for many US students while chosing Tuck). Dartmouth moreover offers free audit of classes for the students' spouses.


But it is very easy not to like the place too. One must take into account that one will spend at least 20 months there. It is really remote. I had never visited US countryside before and I was up for a shock ( for example after getting off the bus at White River Junction at 7:00 pm, I was the ONLY person walking, it was creepy). During one day ( the day after I reached) that I was there I bumped into many guys in a pub whom I saw at school in the morning. So, it is either the same set of people everywhere or the dark forest and the long road.

*Interview complete!!*

Interview Questions I was asked: (I think some of mine might have been different b/c I manage engagement teams, etc)
- Why MBA?
- Why Tuck? Why now?
- Describe your career path to date, why have you done whatever you did?
- Tell me about a time when someone on your team was difficult to work with, what did you do to address the issue, why? As the manager, how was your role different than if you were just an ordinary team member?
- When you manage a team, what are the different components you have to balance? How do you keep the team working wee? How is a large team different than a smaller one from a managerial side?
- WHat are you most proud of on your resume?
- What do you do outside work?
- What ECs do you want to do at Tuck?

Words of wisdom from the Q&A session:
- essays should have clarity of purpose, be sincere, show evidence of a desire to collaborate/give back to Tuck
- GPA and GMAT do not reflect leadership ability or potential, they're just a part of the app
- make sure you proofread
- watch your tone - make sure its reflective of your desired tone; also, don't be too cutesy or too academic

Other random notes:
- I was the only female prospective student there (given there were around 20 or so of us, I expected 2-3 girls but no, just me)
- around 75% students do intramural hockey on the tripod team (they offer classes for people like me who have ice-related coordination issues)
- there are tunnels! they connect the first year dorms to the Tuck building so in winter you don't have to go outside if you don't want to!

hope this helps

Thinking about making a run at Tuck/Yale in a consortium application.

I'm in

I'm currently on the fence, very interested by the school but need a little more convincing about the social aspects of life at Tuck (er, too many married people anyone ). Hope to speak to Tuck alumni at a local "meet and greet" event and visit campus in September, and then consider applying EA or R1.

I love New England and everything, but I'm going back to school as much for the experience and networking as I am for the education, and I need to make sure I will be comfortable in the school environment at Dartmouth.

-- edit --

I'm dropping my plans for an application to Tuck. The location is just a bit too isolated for my taste.

I haven't visited the campus yet but considering I attended undergrad in the armpit of Oregon (Klamath Falls -- *queue dualing banjoes*) I can't imagine this being any worse. I actually prefer a more rural, close-knit community...although the ratio of married to singles does worry me a little bit.

Count me in...good luck everyone!!
