Madz and I are the only international candidates (not been interviewed yet)?

Even R1 candidates have been interviewed and I am still awaiting adcom to call me for interview. Should I start getting worried?

I believe all the R1 candidates took advantage of the self-intitiated interview. Considering the R1 deadline was 48 hours ago, no one could possibly have been invited for an interview.

Re: Calling all Tuck Fall 2009 applicants! [#permalink] New post   15 Nov 2008, 14:15
Hi all...

I'm working on the scholarship application and there is something I'm not sure about...

I'm a US citizen but I live, work and pay taxes in another country.

when I file my US tax forms, I report my foreign income and I am exempt from US income taxes as I am already paying where I live.

I will enter all of my foreign income, savings, etc. but what should I enter in the "2008 estimated income taxes" line?

Do I enter what I pay where I live or '0' as I am exempt from US income taxes?

I plan to call the office but they won't be in until Tuesday and I'd rather get this over with :-)

thanks

O

Hi,
I am an R1 applicant from Indian. And I suppose, being an international applicant, I cannot schedule a telephonic interview myself.I am worried about the interviews as well. Is it a good idea to call the adcom this monday?

I'm working on my scholly app and I'm realizing that I addressed all the topics (below in italics) they suggest in essay #4. So, I changed about three sentences and I'm sending it off. I guess I'll find out just how connected the Financial aid and admissions offices are.


Please write a short biographical essay, no longer than 500 words, telling us about
yourself. Noteworthy topics may include:
• Undergraduate degree and honors or awards
• Extracurricular activities (volunteer, leadership, sports, etc.)
• Work experience

Hmmm.... I kinda touch on a couple of those points in essay #4, but the format was entirely wrong for the scholarship essay.

That being said, I have absolutely no clue how to write the scholarship essay. I ended up doing a short history of schooling and professional life, then focused on work and EC leadership, then finished with a short post-MBA impact statement.

:??? :??? :??? :???

Considering I'll be out of town for the next couple days, it's gonna have to do!

I am trying to incorporate all parts of my candidacy by talking about (i) Personal story, (ii) academics, (iii) profession, and (iv) Hobbies. My final word count is 570. Anyone has an idea if we can go above word limit here.

It seemed to me the word count was pretty strict "...not more than 500 words...".

This is going to be painful. 2.5 months without even so much as a blip of approval or a thumbs up.

With the really intense interview I had, I don't know what to expect.

Can you elaborate on the "intense" interview?

Like those GMAT clubbers who have come before me, I am writing this from the Dartmouth Coach on my way up to Hanover :) Interviewing tomorrow at 3:45pm & will post a re-cap when possible (although I'm assuming most of you have already interviewed :P)

It was not the average friendly Tuck interview that you hear about. She went straight from career goals to behavioral questions (a lot of them). She hardly asked me about extracurricular, interests, hobbies or anything personal. It was my first interview so I wasn't prepared. Plus after reading others' experiences, I wasn't expecting to be bombarded by 5 or 6 behavioral questions.

Are you still working on essays? I'm looking forward to laying low for a week or so then completing my final two apps before Xmas in a somewhat more relaxed pace!

Similar to mine... not the conversational one I thought it would be. Also my first, and also felt I did not perform well.

Oh well, it will be all to real in a month when we find out.

I took care of the Tuck scholarship essay yesterday. I am going to try to do Columbia over the next week, and then H/S/W in December before the holidays.

Same as both of you. I was not a fan of my Tuck interview.
