I surprisingly got an email a couple of days back, from Tuck admissions, for scheduling my interview. I am wondering should I report this to MBA office, since I already did my interview 4 weeks back.!!

Did you self-initiate your interview, and then later receive an invite? If so, the same happened to me. I'm a domestic applicant, but at the time I pressed submit I had not yet scheduled my on-campus interview. About two weeks after I was in Hanover I received an invite to interview. I called adcomm and they basically said that 1) yes, they had intended to invite me to interview and 2) someone probably didn't double-check to see if I had scheduled/completed a self-initiated interview between the the time I submitted my application and when admissions decided to invite me. Naturally before I spoke to admissions I was a complete basket case - certain they'd lost the paperwork on my interview and I would have to return to Hanover to do the process again...thankfully this was not the case. Feel free to call adcomm and verify but it looks like there have been a few instances of this. Think positive - getting an invite from Tuck is a great sign.

I am! Guessing they would start the calls next Wed (03/14) ... any other guesses?

I am too, I was counting the days... I'll soon start counting the hours before D-Day!

Guessing they would start the calls next Wed (03/14) ... any other guesses? In my experience, during the November round, the results were posted online the day of the deadline at 5 pm sharp (EST), but I received my admission's phone call the morning of the day before. Good luck everyone!

I know from last year that some people didn't get the call until after the results were posted, so don't lose hope!

Just one week left until calls! I'm actually getting married on the 16th (signing the paper, not actually tying the knot just quite yet)...hoping I'll have two things to celebrate that night
