I'm in for Nov round.

Waiting on my recs. The letters of rec are actually really difficult--looking for a lot of detail in just 300 words. Did anyone else hear similar comments from your recommenders?

300 words? I didn't hear that. My manager was just surprised that he had to write about 3 weaknesses.

Is there a hard limit in the forms? Mine most likely went over.

They ask the ur recommender to not go over 300 words per question but the form doesn't cut them off until 3,000 characters (which is more than 300 words, closer to 400-450 I think). I asked my recommenders to stay under 300 words per question.

My recommenders went off the weblink I provided them (actually, terp provided it to me) then they were shocked when it came time to upload and the Tuck page said 300 words. They had like 500 for each.

Agreed....3 weaknesses is harsh. And they want examples for every quality your recommender ranks you top 5%.

Ouch. That is pretty bad. We had discussed some ideas about what to include, but they never told me about this. Now, I'm freaking out about what they wrote in the recommendations. :?

Application and recommendations are in!

Do we have to send the GMAT score to Tuck now or do they need official score reports later?

There was a roll call for early action round applicants (Oct 15) that started on Page 15 of this thread. It might be a good idea to keep these two collated. so that we don't feel left out :)

What are you referring to? Do they want the official copy? I just submitted my score during the application.

As for the recommendation, my recs hated it. And, I think providing examples for all qualities in the top 5% incents them to select top 10% to save their time. Oh well.

Quite a small contingent of Tuckies on GMATClub compared to Chicago/Wharton.
