Wharton and Chicago have released before x-mas in the past but that is not a sure bet...with significant increases in applications its possible they wont. Kellogg does theirs on a rolling basis, I found out at the end of November I was admitted...Faceman found out after 5pm on decision day.

Many schools call people the day before or the morning of the deadlines.

Wharton's website says December 22 is the release date. I expect them to uphold that regardless of prediction application increases.

Re: Calling all Tuck Fall 2009 applicants! [#permalink]
Those dates are good to know - thanks!

Came across this interview (https://www.mbaadmission.com/tuck/):

Quote:
When do you encourage applicants to apply?

It is to your advantage to apply in the earlier rounds. The admissions committee cannot predict the quality of future applications, and is therefore inclined to admit well-qualified applicants early in the process. In addition, early application ensures that you will receive a decision earlier. That said, we caution people not to rush with the application—it does show! Be thoughtful in your responses; be sure your application is the best it can be. Regardless of the application round, the admissions committee will give full and fair consideration to your candidacy. We do have spaces left for the last round.

thanks for the link.

it says 80% of students live on campus during their first year at Tuck. I thought all first year students were REQUIRED to live on campus.

There is definitely no requirement. Many students are married and/or have families that won't fit into the dorms. They have a community of town homes called Sachem Village which are a couple miles from campus for married students.

I think Dartmouth requires their undergrads to live on campus for the first year - maybe that's what you're thinking of?

I just got an email from Tuck. I had the following link in it.

https://www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/news/vide ... larke.html

I reported my scores to them from my 7/25/08 test. Do you think this is in response to that ? It would have been about 2 weeks ago. When do schools start to receive score reports?

Re: Calling all Tuck Fall 2009 applicants! [#permalink]
Yeah, I started getting these emails a couple weeks after I sent my score reports to schools. I also got emails from other schools because I "opted in". Some of the emails were quite personal (from lower tier schools) and others more general.

I got the same email, but I haven't sent my scores to Tuck yet. I think I received it because I started the application.

I've been getting stuff from University of Tulsa after my 650. They have this marketing campaign going about your "fortune" awaits you at University of Tulsa and actually sent me a box of 4 fortune cookies! I thought it was clever, but then thought "Does anyone outside of Tulsa's city limits respect Tulsa's MBA program?

I let the dog eat the cookies. He liked 'em.

It's hilarious that you said this today because I just checked my email and receive an email from Boston University stating:

Congratulations! Through the Graduate Management Admission Search Service (GMASS), you have been identified as a preferred candidate for Boston University’s management programs. For the 2008 entering class, more than 75% of students with a similar GMAT score were admitted and received a LEAD Fellowship – valued up to $20,000 per year.

Boston University:
Middle 80% GMAT: 600 - 730.
Middle 80% GPA: 2.9- 3.9
US News Rank: #40

They are the pork to Harvard's Chicken...the other white meat. (the other MBA in Boston)....well, not even that. There's Harvard, MIT, Boston College, Boston University.

That's wierd. You have a higher GMAT score than I do jallenmorris. They must be figuring GPA into this as well.
