Tuck (Dartmouth): Class of 2017 - Calling All Applicants!

But this does not differentiate between the applicants who have self initiated interviews compared to the ones who have been invited for interview. Any clue where we can get such info?

Nope. Sorry.

I was invited for interview.

24 hours to go, guys, so anxious! Best luck to all of us!

I doubt it's materially different than the general pop.

Agreed - Tuck really digs it when you take the initiative to show them some love.

I would disagree. I think there is going to be a higher acceptance rate for those who are invited. While it may not be significantly higher, those who were invited passed through an initial screening and those who self-initiated didn't. Thus the group who was invited doesn't include those who never had a chance of getting in dragging down their acceptance rate.

Yes, but you're assuming that the admissions committee places equal emphasis on the two groups, whereas virtually all communication from them indicates that they want people to take the initiative and get themselves out there. They even go so far as to asking you WHY you didn't take advantage of the open interview. Clearly they want you to do that, unless you have a really good reason.

I don't know the general applicant pool, but when I was there interviewing there weren't any people that struck me as obviously unqualified. Agree to disagree, but either scenario is just as likely. All I'm saying is that I doubt there is a "material" difference. There could be and there's no way for any of us to know.

Nerves, nerves, nerves! From what I gather on this thread, D-day for india applicants is tomorrow! Good luck peeps

Judges' Decision: everyone's right!

This is going to drive everyone crazy, but I cannot help it - too excited!!

Admitted. I just received a call!

YAYYY congratss!!! seems like we might all know today!

Congrats! Does it imply unfavorable news if we don't hear today?

If your profile is correct, you're US-based, right?

Just got the call, admitted. Heart skipped a beat when I saw the 603 area code.

For anyone else who got the call, did they mention anything about scholarships? I was too in shock to remember to ask, but I think they usually say if you've received scholarship money on the phone.

doblax2 and marty340 - congrats to you both!

Those that got the call today, congrats! Did you receive it on your cell or work phone? Tuck's app asked for work phone too and whether it's OK to call it.

ACCEPTED! No scholarship
