Guys

Tuck is a bit different with practically four rounds.

Is R3 in Jan a suicide?

Or is it their R2..?

Posted from my mobile device

This is a good question. I can tell you, with certainty, that a lot of students apply in the January round. This is because Tuck's early action and November round are kind of a "merged first round". In fact, a brunt of the applications that Tuck sees come in two rounds: the early action round and the January round. So, to answer your question, applying in the January round is NOT suicide, but rather the norm for a large majority of applicants.

According to the ADCOM, the January round has the highest volume of applications. Tuck reserves spots for that round, but I don't know that it's proportional (i.e. the most seats for the highest volume round).

I am pretty curious as to how Tuck handles it's EA and November round applicants. Off the top of my head, I can't think of another school that takes in another round of applications before rendering decisions on the previous round's applicants. I wonder whether the ADCOM starts peeking at the November round applications if it's not enamored of the EA round applicants.

My personal feeling is that Tuck is as yield conscious as any school and that they use EA to lock in a certain number of people that they are confident will come. I don't have a feeling as to how they view November round. Is November round for the group that focused on apps for other schools in October and then turned around and pumped out a Tuck app in short order? Tough to know. Once you get into January round, I think Tuck knows that a lot of the apps are triggered by a WL or ding at H/S/W or some other school. As great a school as Tuck is, some still consider it a safety or back up school. Absent some sort of extenuating circumstance (work or personal), it's probably tougher IMO to walk in and convince them that it's your first-choice school after two application rounds have elapsed.

Hello Folks,

Can somebody advise if it is Ok to send changes in your work profile (new positions,promotions, etc) to the adcom post submission. I am an international candidate and habe applied already in EA. Done with my interviews (applicant initiated).

The default answer here is that "if you have a positive, substantive change (ie promoted from consultant to manager) to your application, then it is worthwhile providing an update". If it's something to the tune of "I have more responsibility and now help organize social events" then it is probably not worth it, and may show poor judgment. I have also heard that you should send the updates to the generic Tuck admissions email, not an individual on the admissions committee. Hope this helps.

Was interviewed in Paris by an adcom member - just before the Tuck event. Couple of candidates were interviewed on the same day.
Not sure how it works for candidates in countries without a Tuck event scheduled.

Anyone know how many applicants Tuck invites to interview off-campus? What are the odds like after an off-campus interview invite?

As per the first page roll call, no candidates have been invited for interview as yet.

All interviews have been 'applicant initiated' or have happened because of a Tuck event in the city of the applicant.

So by what date will EA applicants get formal invites for interview? :?:

Hi, you're actually slightly mistaken. Most of the people who interviewed in Indian cities were actually invited to interview. They were not applicant initiated.

I only know that mine was applicant initiated on the day of the event and i was invited to interview the next day and maybe a few others had the same opportunity..

So... hopefully for the rest of you guys... you should hear from Tuck soon... Good luck!!

Anyway, I think the point is most of recently interview are in the city that Adcom went there... right?
Which I think it is not fare for other applicants around the world, last year there was Skype interview and For EA that mean we are focusing on Tuck more than other schools.....

My visit was from 8:30 am-3pm. I think there is an option to start 2 hours or so later, but it ends a few hours later. Everyone, regardless of interview time has lunch and an info session/tour at the same time. I think the class visit time is the only thing that changes, besides interview times obviously. It's pretty much an all day affair.

Hey the schedule depends on your interview time a bit. If its later in they day they try to plan a class visit in the morning and if its in the morning they try to plan a class visit after. I would say the class visit, tour, lunch are the only "mandatory" events you need to attend.

Also the Adcom knows people have to fly or drive back to their homes that day and are fine with you missing any of the additional events. What that said, I would still try to plan being there from about 8AM - 3:30PM. Since Tuck is huge on fit being their for all the events will show a level of commitment to the school they care about.

Sorry but if someone has already browsed through last year threads mind telling us all by what dates interview invites for R1 start pouring in?

Just avoiding rework already done by the so many applicants here who so absolutely love Tuck. :wink:
