Hi everyone, I’m considering applying to Tuck in R2. I’m an Indian female applicant with over 4 years of work experience. I want to know - does Tuck give a scholarships often? Did it give away many scholarships in R1? Was it more or less than last year? Any insights?

Nobdy can possibly know but the adcom. But I think Darden is in general considered far more generous in scholarships.

CJinthehouse, but this would be 3rd round for Darden, right? Much more competitive (given they have early action)

Sure, but Tuck is also a smaller program. I would suggest you give both a try? Darden’s essays are very short and only require one letter of recommmdation.

Hi everyone, I’m applying to Tuck in R2. I haven’t been able to attend any webinars by Tuck, and all the webinars before the R2 deadline are full. Will this have a seriously negative impact on my application?

No. For T10 schools, I think if you joined a lot of events and made an impression to some adcom members, it might help you, but it won’t seriously hurt you if you didn’t.

For M7 schools, most of them make it clear that joining the evens are just for information purposes and will have 0 impact for the admission decisions

Improve score, get a promotion, get an additional reco, ask a tuckie to vouch for you, and engage with the community......Finally hope for the best

The Tuckie to vouch for you option, is there a formal process for this?
