Hi vaibhavijobalia,

If you are applying to the likes of Tuck, then definitely DO take the GMAT again. I'm afraid to say., otherwise you barely stand a chance. You have a low college GPA, and that situation itself commands a high GMAT score- you guessed the figure right- close to 750. Consider this as a step in strengthening your application to Tuck.
Adding another 40 points will make all the difference in the world- even at b-schools where you can get admits right now- they might offer you scholarship money as well (although they'd consider your profile holistically, but scores/ grades never hurt).

Dear vaibhavijobalia

Request post your query in profile evaluation thread.

Good luck to everyone applying this year! I'm joining the class of 2021 as a reapplicant, so feel free to PM me if I can help in any way!

Hi Kelen

Good luck to you too. Thanks for taking out time to help.

Hello,

I applied to Tuck last year in R2 but got dinged. I believe among other things, I didn't show Tuck that it was my top choice. I only visited for the self initiated interview.

Tuck is my top choice, and I plan to apply again in R1 this year. I really want to showcase my interest in the school to the adcoms and was wondering if I should visit again before R1 deadline.

Now considering, I've already visited once and I am likely going to visit again for self initiated interview again after R1 submission, do you see any value in me visiting between now and before I submit my application.

Please advise!

Thank you!

No, I don't - but I strongly encourage you to contact Tuckies past and present to do informational interviews. Very important.
Advanced search on Linked In is a powerful tool, might also contact admissions to receive names and contact info. But you do want the unfiltered so do both.

There are several ways of knowing a business school, and visiting the campus is just one of these. You can still continue to learn about Tuck by visiting events in your city, webinars and by contacting past and current students - all of these will help. I would believe there were other issues with your application that led to the ding. just by visiting a b-school, you can not tell them that they are your "top choice", as there are hundreds of applicants who visit every year and you are one among them. I'd suggest you look deeper into last year's application, understand what was not good, and how you can improve it. We can help you analyze it.

One way of telling them they are top choice, is by having a solid goals essay that convinces them that their school is crucial for you to achieve your goals- for this you should know the program thoroughly and be able to speak to specific program features that will benefit your learning.

It is so quiet!
Guys any update?
Any issue you are facing with the application preparation?
Please share here, somebody might be able to help you.

Tuck is one school that really looks beneath the surface of "Indian applicant" so it should be on the list for Indians who can share stories that resonate with Tuck values.

The essay prompts still reveals their "nice" initiative but the "nice" recommendation questions have been dropped and replaced - thankfully - with the common letter of recommendation.

Major opportunity and lower up-front investment in applying. More time for school research, which is critical to success here.
