hang in there, am waiting too. Browsed through last three years' Tuck thread, interview invites for Nov. round seem to go out by 1st week of December. It seems like this is the week for invites, little to no hope from next week onwards.

Looks like the email that says that the notification will come out next week just went out. Judging by past threads this is normal and the calls should start going out starting next Thursday. Best of luck everyone!

"Thank you for applying to the Tuck School of Business. Your admission decision will be available at 5:00PM EDT on Friday, December 16, 2011. On that date, you will see a link to view your online decision letter when you log on to your application account." I guess this means we won't find out our decisions until next Friday, instead of starting Wednesday. I wish they would just let us know as soon as they made a decision. Unless they send out this email to people who got rejected, and admits will know starting Wednesday.

I am an EA applicant who completed the Applicant initiated interview and am now waiting for the final decision. I just got the following email from Tuck "Thank you for applying to the Tuck School of Business. Your admission decision will be available at 5:00PM EDT on Friday, December 16, 2011. On that date, you will see a link to view your online decision letter when you log on to your application account. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at ******. Sincerely, The Tuck Admissions Team " Did anyone else get a similar email ? As per last year's forum, the accepted people get a phone call and people who get rejected get an email etc. As the admission team told me that I have to go online to look fro my result, does it mean its a DING for me ?? Can an existing student please confirm if they ever got a similar email before getting the acceptance email/phone call. Thanks

Everyone - RELAX. Tuck sends this email to everyone that applied. It's a formality. It is in no way an indicator of whether you'll be admitted. Those people who are admitted will begin getting phone calls on Thursday. Til then, don't worry about silly emails like this. You're all fine - for now at least.

Just as I was getting used to my 2nd round schools and had started to relax, Tuck had to send that email (I too am an EA applicant)... ... well played, Tuck. Well played.

still should wait for another week anyway, thanks, biztuck

I too thought that email was a ding, or at least a decision of some sort. Feel a bit better hearing its formality. I'm in Korea so I know it's possible that I could get in without a call due to time zones. I think we should let Tuck know how cruel that email is!

That mail sure was scary. Since I heard that they call the admits I opened it preparing for the worst. Anyways one more looooooooooong week to go, good luck everyone.
