Tuck 2013 (Dartmouth) - Calling All Applicants

I just got the call! I am in with $$$
Such a great way to start the weekend... good luck to everyone!

I think alot of us have been in the zero admit club before(and we know how it feels getting dinged by all the schools you applied to) so its unfair to say asking for a opinion in anyway signifies "rubbing it in". I think he/she is just trying to gather the combined knowledge of other forum members, which I don't feel is wrong.Also, after all each of us are going to invest a massive $250K(including opportunity costs and personal sacrifices). Its imperative we ensure we invest all that $ in the right school.

I would recommend not fretting and fawning too much over the content of the thank you note. It is common courtesy to send one, and common sense to keep it short. The easiest way to look at it is by putting yourself in your interviewer's shoes. Would you really care that much whether an applicant you interviewed sent you a thank you note or not? Personally, I know I wouldn't. During the course of the interview, I would have made my mind up about her/him as a potential student of my school, and would have sent my report soon after as well. The applicant's thank you note would not cause me to change my decision about her/him.
Moral of the story - Send one in, if only to calm yourself, but keep it as short and to-the-point as possible. DO NOT use it as an opportunity to further your candidacy and add some more points about how awesome you are. It may be true, but at that point, it doesn't matter.

Hope this helps

Just wanted to give a quick shout-out to the November Round folks. Good luck sleeping tonight!

I'm in!!! I got the call about an hour ago on my way to the gym. I'm so happy right now!

Good luck to everyone waiting. The lady I spoke to said that I was her second call today.

I'm located in Chicago and the call came from a 603 area code, as expected.

got the call about an hour ago with scholarship info. was too surprised to ask about other calls. good luck

I sincerely hope the silence in this forum means they are leaving 90% of the calls to be made tomorrow... Going out of my mind here!

Hi!

I got the call from Tuck this afternoon! VERY excited!
I'm an international applicant in Latin America.

What a day: I was admitted at Tuck and UCLA in the same day! One of the happiest days in my life!

I'm crossing my fingers for you guys! I've been a silent reader of this forum, and you really helped me deal the anxious feeling of waiting admissions decisions.

same here, Im from Latin America and got the call today at noon. good luck for all you guys.

Admitted, international applicant from LATAM (Argentina). Received the call on Thursday.

So, how many of you admitted fellows forgot to pay your deposits last friday? =)

just got the call - off the waitlist!!

Thank you Faro! I am a Class of 2013 Tuckie and also ready to help with any questions you may have. Please feel free to PM me.

I'm also an incoming T'14, obviously can't say much about life at Tuck but happy to help out w/ the app process. Good luck!

Hi Chintamani,

I was also an international applicant to Tuck last year (and now part of the class of 2014). I did not visit campus before applying. From what I gathered from my conversations with Tuck students and adcom, while they do put a lot of emphasis on campus visits, even for international applicants, the adcom understands that for some applicants it can be very difficult. So the drawback for someone from Canada not visiting might be greater than for someone from Thailand for example.

I am in Asia myself and did not visit campus or interview before submitting my application, but eventually they invited me to interview and gave the option for a Skype interview. So if you are very far away, don't worry too much the drawbacks of not visiting in person.

Hope this helps.

Reapplicant, back for EA!

I will not be denied. Or waitlisted.
