The nice thing about the Hanover Inn is you can walk to Tuck (10 min).

There are much cheaper hotels in White River Junction (about 5 min south on I-91). However, you'll either need a rental car or a taxi ride.

I drove up for an interview this past Tuesday, so I had a car and was mobile. The super 8 in white river junction was <$70 for the night, had wifi, heat, and a bed to sleep on - that's really all I needed. It was super close to hanover, too.

Does Tuck follow the Wharton-Booth model of calling maybe one day before the decision release date, or is there a chance of hearing back much before the R1 Feb 5 decision date?

During Early Action, they started the calls on Monday (notification date was Friday), but I didn't get mine until Tuesday. So I was basically panicking until I got the call on Tuesday, because I was worried all the calls had been made. No idea whether they will do the same for later rounds, but to avoid undue panicking, you might want to avoid the boards that week!

Solid advice from a fellow New Yorker.
R1 decision week was hell, waiting on Wharton and Booth (and getting dinged from both).

Yeah, I could not agree more. Fortunately I got the call from Tuck an hour and a half before my (anticipated and in some ways welcome) ding from HBS. It would have been a lot more painful going through all my dings/WLs without knowing I had the offer from Tuck. Good luck!

Funny thing happened today... I was sitting at office... Some one called me on my VoIP and it happened to be a wrong number... later when i checked the caller id, it was a +1603 number...

If it were Feb 5 or that week, i can't imagine what my reaction would be :-D

I just logged into my application account and I see a new line Item:

Application Status: Completed on (Date and Time from last week)

-- What does this mean? I am assuming that the admission committee has completed review of my application...

I submitted on Jan 5 and that line item was not existent... When I logged in last monday Jan 11 nothing was there.. today Jan 22 I saw that line item.. Hence I assume they use it for status updates.. Any one has more information?

Oh there is already a line item that shows Application status: submitted (date and Time)

Hi, I submitted mine on the 5th as well. My status changed to completed last week some time. I think it just means that your application has all of the necessary components to begin review. (I think this because below the "completed" status, the other components of the application are listed.)

I'm sure they haven't finished reviewing yet. I know Tuck and all other schools look very closely at every applicant. Good luck!

Was just poking around facebook and noticed the "Tuck Class of 2012" group has 110 members! Presumably those are all EA admits that will make up almost half the class, is that right? Or are there faculty and staff that are members of that group as well? Am I totally paranoid? Probably...

GordonBombay, you only need one admit. Let there be 110 folks from EA round. Tuck offers around 240 spots in its class which leaves another 130 spots for us. You seem to have a strong profile. You've done your job so far to your best and therefore no point in getting paranoid over certain facts unless you could control that ... let's "peacefully" wait till the week of Feb 5.

<PS: Action: Select all from the text above, replace you by I. Message is the same for me as well).

Thanks

You are paranoid! The EA round is the smallest round of the four rounds. From what I've heard applications are down slightly this year.

Tuck has a yield of around 60%, so there will be around 400 people admitted this year. I would guess that maybe 75 or so people were admitted in EA. Still plenty of room for the second and third round. The fourth round is extremely difficult to get accepted in.

Fair points.

I'm actually a January round applicant, so I've got a little bit longer to wait and a little bit more of a challenge to get in, statistically speaking.

Is anyone a member of that group on fbook? Is at all students or are faculty and staff part of it as well?

As they say, "Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean I'm wrong."

I'm in the group. There are a few faculty members, but it's largely admits. That said, just because someone is in the group doesn't necessarily mean they will end up accepting Tuck's offer. Some may have turned it down but not left the group, and some may withdraw to accept spots in other schools' classes. I wouldn't worry too much about it at this point.
