Nope. I don't know of any school that admit people without an interview.

@gbrooks Woah your predictions are scarily accurate!


Thank you very much for the response.

Even I have asked the same question on the forum a few days back!! No one seems to be responding, so I am hoping that there still time!

Which country are you from?


I think class 2016 might be almost full, because there are very few interview invitations for Jan Round, based on my personal observations on the forum.

Found this on their website: "March 4 - March 23 the Admissions Office will be closed for all on campus events and interviews. We will resume interviews and class visits on March 24 when the spring semester will begin." Since the admissions notification date is March 14, I'm guessing if you don't hear by March 3 then it's not looking great.

I am US based but was unable to travel to NH for an interview. I haven't heard anything from Tuck since I submitted other than receiving an email that my application is complete and would be reviewed by the committee shortly. This was a few weeks ago so I'm kind of giving up hope.

Good luck to everyone still waiting and congrats to those who got in last week!


Admissions office have blackout dates in September as well. This seems to be related to admissions and interviews for admissions for 2016. Also I don't think they will be informing earlier than 14th March, regarding decisions for January round.

Keep fingers crossed as I do the same ...

Cheers! :)

From gbrooks6687 forecast we can assume there is still some admits left either for applicants who have already interviewed on campus or for applicants who will be getting invites for interview in coming weeks (for Jan round) ...

This is unbelievably ridiculous in all the right ways. Your future DecSci (Decision Science in Fall B) professor would be proud. Please tell me this made it into an essay somewhere? This is hilarious.

Random question. Are any current Tuck students active on this thread? If so, can anyone tell me if there is housing close to Tuck (within 10 minutes walking distance) that would allow me to have a pet?

Someone asked a similar question in today's Chat with Tuck. Sachem Village if I remember correctly.

Does anyone know how adcoms view typos? I had 3 typos in my R2 application and I have been worrying about it since. Any Tuckie with thoughts on this?

Tuck is the school I want to go to most by a large margin.

Don't worry about it. They understand mistakes happen! I would suggest not looking over submitted applications because stuff like this can play on your mind.

Sachem Village allows pets, however, it is not within a 10-minutes walking distance from campus. There is a Dartmouth shuttle that stops at Sachem and takes about 20-25 minutes to campus (as I read in an official blog post). There is a one-time fee for each pet (US$200) plus US$50 monthly, limited to 2 pets.

Haha, thanks kschmidt. I actually do quite a bit of this type of work (in the real world) and this was a pretty simple analysis (especially since gmatclub has done such a job making their data readily available)

FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: Thanks on Valentines


Why do you want to come to Tuck? Tight knit community,  winter wonderland (main image), fancy being in woods, awesome educational experience, great prospects… and?

And...let me tell you a small story.

Feb 13th: First thing I noticed in the morning was that I lost one of my gold ear rings. I searched my room, told a friend and uploaded a photo on T14.5 Facebook group. Some said sorry, some said they will let me know if they find it. I wasn’t sure where I lost it. So, gave up my search. 



Feb 14th: I was walking back to my dorm room after lunch, when I saw a tiny shiny thing on the wooden shelf at the entrance of Raether hall (It’s usually a busy, hangout place in our dorm).  From a distance, the shiny thing looked like a finger ring. I let my imagination flow – someone was probably planning on an elaborate proposal and I shouldn’t meddle with their script. However, curiosity took over and I went to check it. Surprise! That was my ear ring!!

I will spare you all the silly first thoughts I had at that moment. But I didn’t know if I should believe in what I was seeing. I don’t know who kept the ring there – could have been cleaning staff, a student or someone else. Whoever it is, THANK YOU!

Most importantly, I realized I should be grateful and not be surprised. Why?

Honesty, integrity and ethics – these are the values imbedded deep in the fabric of Tuck community - students, professors, staff and everyone. We live by these values and make no exceptions.

I don’t know if this would be a similar story in some other place. I do know that it happens this way at Tuck. This is just a small example. I have had other expereinces, and heard more stories from other friends.

Such experiences define our life at Tuck, and make us who we are. These values take us forward, help us make the right decisions and in the process - be responsible citizens and responsible leaders.

FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: The importance of time management at Tuck
I just realized that I haven't blogged here for over 3 months! There's a deeper meaning here - the 'just realized' loops back to the fact that time passes by incredibly fast here at Tuck. I recall thinking many times in class each day that I will go back to my room and blog. However, I never got around to it. Most of my time in the fall term was devoted to recruiting. Tuck promises an immersive experience and even in the aspect of recruiting that promise holds.

I was speaking with a friend and he asked me what I did today. My answer was 'nothing' - and that's literally what I did today. It snowed really heavily last night and I think there's about 2 feet of snow on the ground right now. A perfect day to laze around in PJs catching up on movies, sitcoms and what not. However, nostalgia struck me and I took a trip back in time by looking at my calendar in November. There's barely any empty space in my schedule there. Of course now, having gone through the recruiting process, I can quickly recall each of those meetings but as I went through each day and what I did, I never realized how busy I had been.

And as I come back to the present, I realized how quickly Fall gave way to Winter. The magnificent fall colors on trees gave way to just the white all around.  Capital Markets became Corporate Finance. Networking with firms turned to interviewing and finally to offers. The purpose of my blog post is primarily to advise incoming T16s on the value of time. I've been in Hanover for over 6 months now but it seems like I arrived only yesterday. This will be the most cliched and overused sentence you will hear during your time at Tuck. But nothing else will be as true. Why am I stressing on this so much? Mainly because there's so much to do here that you can fall into the trap of non prioritization. 

A very rational way of looking at life at Tuck is to segment your time here in three buckets - professional (aka recruiting), social (aka partying), and academic (aka studying). That was the priority set I abided by - the key word being abided. If there was ever a conflict in what I wanted to do, i went back to this priority chart and made my decision. However, this prioritization is dynamic - for example, now that recruiting is over, I'd like to take social to the top of my order set, followed by academic, followed by professional. Once I'm back after my summer internship, it will probably be social, professional (aka helping T16s prep for interviews), and then academic.

I highly recommend that once you've settled in at Tuck, you quickly start prioritizing. Time flies by and you don't want to be in a situation where you do not know what to do. While it may seem obvious that recruiting would be on top of everyone's priority list, it isn't the case. Priorities vary person to person and someone may just wish to recruit properly full time versus investing heavily in the internship search. 

So make your decision early as it'll help in making life more streamlined. And of course, if you seek any help, all of us T15s are always ready to help. Until the next post ...
