| FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: Waitlisted? |
 We know “waitlist” wasn't the decision you were hoping for. But rather than seeing this in a completely negative light, keep in mind that being waitlisted indicates there were many strengths in your application. Tuck receives a lot applications and the pool is very competitive. Also remember that it’s not over yet! Almost every year, we admit people from the waitlist to join the first-year class right up until orientation begins in August. To give yourself the best chance of being one of those people, there are things you can do while you’re waiting to prepare yourself for business school. First, take a deep breath. Do something healthy for yourself. Spend time with family and friends, go for a run, or whatever you do to decompress. Good decisions about future paths are rarely made when you’re under stress or feel anxious. Release some of those anxieties and put your efforts into building a wise strategy for moving forward. Second, follow the instructions. Your decision letter lets you know what you need to do next. You’ll need to decide whether or not you want to remain on the waitlist. If you choose to remain on the waitlist, an Admissions Officer will get in touch (typically early spring) to let you know if there are any steps you can take to enhance your application. In the meantime, however, this is a good time to look back on your application and decide for yourself what your strengths and weaknesses are. An honest assessment of what you could improve is a great opportunity for you to come up with a game plan. Maybe you think you could score higher on your GMAT, or you realize your goals or your rationale for your MBA weren’t clear. That insight can help you take proactive steps now, without having to wait for feedback from us. Third, trust the process. We know being in limbo is challenging. We work hard to make the waitlist process as informative and clear as possible. If we need something from you, we will let you know. Update us with important information such as promotions or updated test scores. There’s no need to make surprise visits to campus or stay in constant contact. Keep in mind how you handle yourself on the waitlist also gives us an idea of how you will handle yourself as a student. You can help your candidacy by maintaining your professionalism and checking in every once in a while. Also, please be transparent and communicative with us about your plans. If you're in somewhere else and no longer interested in Tuck, please let us know. For those currently on Tuck's waitlist, this email address is the best way to provide updates or ask questions. As you look forward to receiving feedback, we thank you for your patience! |

| FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: Q&A with Tuck Student Ambassador: Eduardo Watanabe |
 Tuck's Student Ambassador Team collaborates with the Admissions Office to share their Tuck experience with prospective students. The team is structured by geographical region, with an SAT Captain leading each. In the following months, we'll introduce you to them. Today, meet Eduardo Watanabe, T'17 and Brazil Lead. Please reach out to Eduardo or any other Student Ambassador using this website. They love to connect with future Tuckies, especially when they're from "home"! Tell us a little bit about yourself. I grew up in Sao Paulo, Brazil, got my undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, and did consulting at Accenture for 5 years prior to Tuck. Last summer, I did my internship at Tesla in Silicon Valley, and after graduation, I intend to go back to Brazil (probably consulting again). Why Tuck? Tuck is the place I felt would provide the most insightful experience, and the place where I’d be able to make life-time friends, not just a network. It's a place where you can reflect deeply about your goals and openly discuss them with friends who will provide feedback and support. Everyone at Tuck chooses a different path. What’s your life at Tuck like? My life couldn’t be better. I’m single and try to take advantage of most social events (like hockey, which my team managed to win last winter!). I also host several small groups dinners in my home, with different people (at least once a week), so that we can chat more. During Fall A, I also invested a lot of time sharing my stats and ManEc (managerial economics) skills with my study group and friends, because I believe that helping each other is the best way to achieve higher goals. Transformational Moment During Outward Bound (an optional pre-term program), when I was the captain of the boat, I made a wrong maneuver and our boat lagged behind the other boats. At the time I felt terrible about it, and thought that my team would give me harsh feedback. Instead, they supported me and highlighted my positive qualities. I was really surprised with their support and felt much more confident during my other leadership experiences. Why did you join the Student Ambassador Team? I truly believe that Tuck provides a unique experience to the students, and I want to show that to the prospective Brazilians. Moreover, I believe that Tuck has a branding opportunity in Brazil, because most Brazilians end up staying in the US and are therefore less visible. I’d like to change this misleading perception. What surprised you most at Tuck? The people. I admire my classmates, and I learn a lot by chatting or working with them. Such a great experience! Any advice for prospective students? Be yourself and show why Tuck would be a great fit for you and why you would be a great fit for Tuck. |
