The 5 PM deadline was difficult to meet by one of my recommenders. He submitted like 30 mins before the deadline. If I get in, I'm going to work on having the admissions push the deadline back to 11:59 pm so that recommenders/applicants have some extra time to look over their content after work.

I don't think they will budge. After all, the application has been out since September and the applications deadlines were released prior to the application release. Best thing to do is give a recommender a deadline that does not fall on the application deadline.

Indeed, I meant I'll do that for the class of 2014 or even 2015.

I missed the deadline by 2 hours and my recommender missed it by about 5 hours. I was at the Tuck admissions event in Mumbai today and asked the lady making the presentation if I would still be considered in the Nov round and she told they keep about 24 hours buffer. So no sweat but at the same time I will be more careful ahead.

Done.
A quick recap of my applications experience:

GMAT: $250
Application Fee Total: $925
Ding without Interview: Priceless!

There are some disappointments that money can't buy, for everything else, there is HBS and Wharton :cry:

Sorry about the news. You heard from Tuck already?
Show more

Not yet. I applied for the Nov round - I was referring to the HBS and Wharton ding notifications.

Oh well, that's the reason we apply to multiple programs :)

So I'm sure this was asked before but I'm too lazy to search :lol:

I did a self-initiated interview, and submitted my app in time for R1. Are the decisions released on the decision date or is it in batches?

I was at Tuck yesterday for the self initiate. The above question came up during the q&a:

The final decisions are done in one release. Nothing else. The only exception to this is for adcom initiated interviews. Wait list, defer, admit, ding are all released in one batch per round.

Now, as for my school visit + interview:

The Tuck brand is definitely felt when one gets there. Reading the student profiles, blogs, notes from the ambassadors here, etc, you get a strong sense of what Tuck is about, but going there is a major reinforcement to this.

If one gets around the location (remote), wow, the place is amazing. Gorgeous campus, AMAZING landscape, very cohesive class, good resources, etc. The class visit was enjoyable (decision sciences). I met up with a GC member for dinner (no longer active due to time commitments at Tuck) the night before. Tues/Thurs tend to be the larger interview/visit days. There were maybe ~25 people with me. The app pool is ~3,000 (came up during the q&a session).

Bottom line: I really enjoyed the visit to Tuck. I am very tired right now (back at work after driving 500 miles + a flight in ~40 hours on less than 5 hours of sleep), but it was well worth it.

See what happens with my app.

sorry for the confusion. I meant an adcom member. They will be in India to conduct info sessions and so based on time available to them they do give option for face-2-face interview to some I suppose.. I m not sure if this is somthing new that they are doing but I was given the option to skype or meet them personally.

I interviewed Friday on-campus with a second year student. It was very comfortable and conversational. He just asked me to walk him through my resume, give an example of a team failure, and then why Tuck. The interview lasted maybe 20 minutes, and then the other 10 minutes was for questions. Other than what I felt was a quick interview, it all went fine.

Tuck is one of those schools that is easy to fall in love with on paper, but you need to visit in person to develop a comprehensive opinion. For me personally the visit was enough to make Tuck my #1 choice. For the others I met, the realities of a *very* small school in a *very* small town (take these words as absolute truth: you can't hide/be anonymous) became a liability they couldn't overcome, and subsequently dropped it from their list.

I do think so. Dec 17 is when Tuck releases the information and based on what I have read everyone will get to know their fate on that day!
