I am waitlisted from EA and was wondering if anyone has any idea about how much people Tuck usually takes from waitlists and what it expects waitlisted candidates to do - i.e. updates etc.

If I am sending an update, I was wondering if it could be something in the extracuricular field, or must it be purely work related?

Thanks guys.

It all depends on the year. If I remember correctly, Tuck did not accept ANYONE off the waitlist for Class of 2010 (starting fall 2008). Last year (Class of 2011) quite a few were accepted off the waitlist (maybe 6-10?).

As for updating the admissions office, follow any guidelines you were given. I would say that I would avoid bothering the admission office with any updates that were not substantial (professional, academic or extracurricular).

Thanks :) ..Quite an impressive profile. One last question, Have you seen any change in your application status since the interview? Or does your application status has an "interview" column listed?

On the main page there is no change, but in the events page, the interview shows up...Good luck...

Anybody know if Tuck sends out admits all at once on the D-Day (March 19th) or do they inform candidates as they make decisions??

After a definite rejection from MIT and a more than likely rejection from HBS forthcoming, I've got two ponies left in the race.

Tuck has always been and still is my top choice. Very stressful because I interviewed there last November and haven't had any interaction with them since. I also noticed that there are about 180 members in the Tuck Class of 2012 facebook group....

Good luck people!

To answer the above question, in the November round, calls went out the day before for the majority, then there were a few calls on Friday and all the dings. Dont expect to hear anything until the day before the deadline.

For those of you in R2 that completed self-initiated interviews, does your Tuck visit show up in the "View Mine" pop-up in the "Events" section of the apply yourself application? My visit does not show up, but an event I attended at an earlier date does. Not sure if I should be concerned, as there was a place in the actual application to note school visits / interviews. Thanks!

Just checked and it doesn't show my interview, but I wouldn't worry about it, since there is a place in the app to refresh their memory about your interview.

Thanks.

Sure...here they are:

We are pleased to see that you have started work on your application to Tuck! With only the April 2, 2010 deadline remaining, we know how daunting getting the last few elements of your application ready for submission can be. There are many things to consider, opportunities to weigh and much soul searching to be done.

One of the most important (and challenging) aspects of any MBA application are the essays. As you consider an MBA essay, keep the following tips in mind:

1. Be authentic. Like many MBA candidates, you may have spent a lot of time seeking out every piece of advice you could find about how to write essays that will get you admitted to the b-school of your dreams. Forget everything you've read or heard! There is no secret formula for essays that get you admitted to Tuck. Reflect on your experiences, your plans for the future and what really motivates you to strive to be better. Tell us stories that we can't forget...even after reading nearly 6,000 essays.

2. Answer the question being asked. Strange piece of advice? Not at all! You might be surprised to know that applicants sometimes get so caught up in the story that they lose sight of the question.

3. Proofread, review, repeat. Applying to business school is not something most of us do more than once, so it's easy to overlook some pretty big mistakes (referring to another school for example). Have someone you trust read your essays.

Hopefully you will find these tips helpful as you put the finishing touches on your application to Tuck. If you have any questions along the way, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected].
