It's hard to say because applications, from what I've heard, are read randomly. No earlier than 3 weeks and no later than 1 week before the deadline.

However you can answer the question more effectively.

FWIW, according to The Economist, Tuck is #1. Geez, now I really want to get in...along with 2,500 other people. https://poetsandquants.com/2011/10/14/th ... k-is-no-1/

How can an international student show his/her "love for Tuck" without visiting the campus? There are no admission events happening in my city either. I know it is very important to show your fit with this b-school in the essays. I have tried contacting Tuck alumni in my city (via Linkedin) but have not got a response yet. I am targeting the Nov round. Any suggestions? I will also be writing to the consulting club and try and get more specific information from clubs of my interest. Thanks!!

Check out tuck connect. It's not 100% accurate so to say - my alumnus was Spanish and I asked if they had any Scandinavians.. But the Spanish alumnus I connected with was great and really offered some insights. Alternatively I suppose you can contact their alumni relations office and ask directly to be out in touch....?

Where is the essay for scholarship? i cant seem to find it? Are you talking about the "Mention any special circumstance" thing at the end of the scholarship form?

Read the scholarship form carefully. There is a section that says "write a brief biographical essay" at some point. It doesn't stand out, so peruse the form.

Thanks a lot for the information! I checked out 'Tuck Connections' on their website. Its closed at the moment (though they mention that it will reopen in mid Sept... weird) I am doing the following as part of my 'research on Tuck' a) Writing to clubs/student organization's of interest. b) Trying to connect with an alum. c) Reading Tuck website and blogs What else can I do to so? Thanks again!!

Just returned home from my visit up to Hanover. I was able to sit in on a Capital Markets class, interview, eat lunch with a few current students and tour the building. I had been up to Tuck before in the summer, but going yesterday with classes in session was great. All in all it was a great visit and I can't wait to finish up my Tuck app!
