30% up?! Wow!!! As an applicant thats terrible news to hear. I have the feeling this % is even higher for international students - Tuck / Dartmouth is a well established brand in the USA and the admissions dept has made a big push to promote recruiting abroad. For example they just created a Latin American advisory board and doubled financial aid for this region. Concerning thr Economist rankings, or any rankings for that matter, I cant believe applicants place so much importance in them. They weighted so little in my application criteria. The waiting continues. Posted from my mobile device

I wonder how much of this is because of the GMAT changes. There was a theory floating around that many candidates (read: 're-take'ers) rushed to take the GMAT earlier this year before the IR section got introduced. Seems more applicants were ready with their scores before June which gave them 4+ months to work on their apps for EA. May be applicants who would have otherwise put off until Nov/Jan actually applied earlier? I read some article about this on P & Q. Again, I'm sure the rankings played a huge part and all the H/S/W rejects who normally show up in Jan round applied early given the latest rankings of Tuck. The consolation from both these theories is that overall increase might not be 30% and only the balance tilted towards EA - it can mean more admits from EA or probably a huge waiting list which would kinda suck

30% rise in EA applicants is certainly bad news for applicants. When I visited Tuck in summer, the adcom was complaining that the number of applicants has been falling in the last 2 years. I guess they should be happy now!

Prudence wrote: Hi everyone, I attended the Tuck reception in Bangalore and thought I'd share some pointers. Some of these may already be known to you:
1. EA invites are still coming out, geography no bar. This year, the EA volume is up by 30% and Allegra mentioned that the adcom is stressed out, trying to wrap up everything before the decision day. Her advice to applicants was to wait and not assume the worst.
(Personally, I feel that since they haven't finished reading the apps, you cannot assume that they've covered all apps from country X or Y. I don't think it is correct to assume that if you didn't get an invitation that coincided with a reception, you're scrood.)
6. The one thing she stressed the most were the career goals. I think she talked about it at least 3 or 4 times. If your career goal is lofty, then Career Services steps in to determine whether they have the resources to place you in that role after your MBA. So it is very important that you state a strong case for your goals.
Hope this helps!
Pru Thanks for sharing this, Pru! Number 1 gives me hope. A little bit. But hope nonetheless... Number 6 I think is something everyone should really understand and take into consideration in choosing a school. A lot has been said about students fitting into a school. But I think what some people fail to consider is that FIT is two-way. Career services also need to ensure they can deliver on an applicant's expectations, especially because student satisfaction is a big driver in some rankings.

Did any of the R1 applicants who didnt go for the self-initiated interview in Hanover receive interview calls yet?
I am an international applicant and keep watching my phone for a call!

I am an international applicant and keep watching my phone for a call! I'm not sure they will cold call you. What seems to be the norm is that you get an email telling you that they're inviting you to interview with them, and then you set-up the date, time, and logistics. To answer your question though: It appears none of international R1 applicants (at least here in gmatclub) who did not initiate and interview and who are not from a country where admissions events were held got invited to an interview yet.

Sharpie wrote: I second Jason. Hopefully next week will bring some good news Posted from my mobile device I doubt it. I think they have already initiated skype interviews with intl. candidates. Another forum reports invites from Japan, Belgium, Korea, Russia, Brazil, Canada and Mexico in addition to India. As per Tuck website, no admission event was held in Belgium, Brazil, Canada and Mexico after Oct 10, the first round deadline. So, I am assuming that few intl. applicants on this forum have received skype invites. Further, the sample size on these forums is too small.

Hey Guys,
Looking for opinions on this:
I'm an EA applicant and did a self-initiated interview. Thus I have no bearing on my candidacy at Tuck (since I consider interview invites initiated by the school as somewhat of a sign of interest).
I recently received a promotion and in addition to the increase in job scope, I will now manage a team.
Should I let Tuck adcoms know of this recent change? (since EA decision is only a few weeks away)
Thnx

Almost all interview invites have changed to interview completed on this forum. So, I am assuming that Tuck will be reviewing/done with reviewing the EA round applications. Is there still any chance for an intl. interview invite? I have heard from students that Yale, Darden and Cornell can send invites even one week before the decision day. Can we expect something similar from Tuck or no?

Live Essay Writing Workshop, presented by Admissionado Sigh. The MBA Application essays. Who thought it was a good idea to ask people to write 2000 words before they even get INTO school? Turns out, it doesn’t matter, because someone did… and now you have to come up with the most compelling and memorable essays about leadership that you can. And then do it again for every school you apply to. It’s not easy, but this upcoming event should help. Submit your MBA Application essay to have an opportunity to have it reviewed for free by the team at Admissionado. Three essays will be selected, and if you are one of the lucky ones, you will have the opportunity to go through your essay with Phillip Herring (admissions expert and CBS MBA) in a live session. You will need to be OK with sharing your essay with attendees (don’t worry – we’ll keep your name/private info out of it), and available and online at the time of the event to chat it up with Phillip. Even if you aren’t selected, listen in, because there will still be plenty of essay advice to go around. Submit your essay to lauren@admissionado.com by Monday, December 3. You will find out if you are selected by Wednesday, December 5. Then join the live event on Thursday, December 6 at 6pm PST. Register Now [FREE!]
