Do you think that the essay questions for Class of 2016 will be posted next week or in two weeks?


Not sure if you're asking someone in particular, but I do. I think 1, 2, maybe 3 weeks. It's been right around this time (early to mid July) the past few years.

Re: Tuck (Dartmouth): Class of 2016- Calling all applicants! [#permalink]
Question about visiting:

So from what I understand, I can only visit the campus (just visit, not interview) during the Spring semester. Since that has passed by, and I would like to apply this fall for Fall 2014, will my only visit then be an applicant initiated interview? If so, is this viewed differently (less favorably) than those who visiting campus in the Spring and then held an applicant intiated interview on campus the following fall? Thanks in advance.

Hey air22x, good question! Tuck understands that it's an out of the way place to visit and if you take advantage of the applicant initiated interview, you're being proactive and showing interest. There's nothing wrong with making that your first visit - going twice in one year isn't expected.

A couple of pointers for the applicant-initiated interview: Make sure you've drafted your career goals/why Tuck essay and interview before the application deadline if you can. They'll match your interview to your application, so it's good if those two things jive. Also, since it'll be your first visit, it's probably to your advantage to schedule your interview after you've had a chance to visit a class, eat lunch with students, and tour Tuck - this will give you more talking points for when you interview. Good luck!

In for EA. I am a reapplicant who got a feedback offer last year (given to <10% applicants) and hoping for a better outcome this time around.

Seems like Tuck didn't change the essays. When I had my feedback session, I was told that the Adcom loves reading the third essay. I think it's one of those essays where you can differentiate yourself from the pack by having an exciting personal story. Looking forward to reapplying. God, I love this school. I get butterflies when I even say the name.

That's some good insight. As a perspective applicant who has only fairly recently started looking into Tuck, can you give me some idea why its a butterfly school for you :)? I have spoken to two current students who both loved it but for very different reasons!

Sure, would love to share.
1) location: I went to a large state university in a large city and felt that I was sort of always distracted in school, so wanted to go to a school in a rural town and with a smaller class size. And I know Tuck is sort of in the middle of nowhere, but when you think about it, its actually 2 hours from Boston and 4 hours away from NYC. Yes, you can visit those cities every day, but they are still at a drivable distance.
2) recruiting: In my opinion, Tuck has the strongest recruiting among all schools(including HBS/Stanford) when it comes to traditional fields (consulting/banking). I am interested in MBB and have heard that pretty much every interested applicant gets an interview slot because there is not much competition. When I visited, there was a Bain event going on, and I heard that there were as many Bainies as students.
3) Lastly, not to throw any dirt on any school, but I found student body to be more mature than other schools (I have visited all top schools in small towns). While, this may be a turn off for some, I am a slightly older applicant and not very much into the party scene.


These are all great observations, and this reinforces how important the first-hand research can be. Visiting schools is always helpful but with Tuck it's practically mandatory! Thanks for sharing those insights, hailmary620.
