I asked the same question to the admissions rep I talked to in June...she said put "present"...that wasn't possible, so I left it blank

Tuck2013: I do not think I would be able to attend the interview within 3 weeks of the application deadline. I should address the issue using the optional essay. Although not having visited or attended an admission event, I feel my application would be very weak. Can you tell if they would be able to consider my case and have a ad com initiated interview instead? As Tuck is on top of my wish list, I am beginning to worry if they view my inability to visit as a negative.

Finally, submitted my application for EA round. All the best everyone ( including me )

Officially submitted. All's done but the waiting.

Seriously when I started I just did not expect to have to put in so much effort. It was really draining and I have applied only for 2 schools at the same time. Wondering how folks who do 4 or 5 manage to make it.

yeah, i planned to apply to 5 schools in R1, narrowed it down to 2 in R1 and 1 in R2... now that I have Tuck submitted and my interview complete, seriously considering having Tuck as my only app this year lol.

^ That is what I did, Tuck is the only school I applied to this year, if I don't get in, then I will apply to my other school come next year, the way I figure, it wasn't to bad getting all the stuff together, just a lot of essay writing/rewriting, but I could see a clear improvement draft to draft, at the end of the day I think doing 4/5 schools wouldn't be to bad as long as I start the process in the summer.
