Hey everyone! I'm planning to apply in R2, however I know that you're guaranteed an interview if you submit your application by 1 December 2023.

Does that actually help your chances? Does the AdCom actually review your application differently if you had a "freebie" interview even if your main application, test scores, etc. were already being reviewed?

I guess my question is, does the guarantee of an interview basically just speed up your process of knowing the result, or does it actually give you a better chance of being admitted?

I think it helps- because the adcom have another data point about you.

Heya! Is anyone considering Tuck in round 2? If you’ve started working on applications or are planning to start in a week, let’s connect and discuss strategy.

Hey! I'm targeting R2. Currently studying for the GRE and speaking to my recommenders, and plan to use December for my essays.

Hi All. I have my GMAT online exam scheduled for tomorrow morning.
I wanted to know if we can send out our score to schools well after the exam (let us say after couple of days) free of cost or we have to choose schools then and there?
I know, in case of in-centre exams, we can send afterwards but it costs some amount. But in online exam, for sending the scores free, do we have to submit schools then and there?

Hi People, I’m a prospective R2 Tuck applicant. I was curious if someone would like to share what they think of Tuck as a school for a career in Tech. I see that only about 10% of the reported students have joined tech in the past cycle. Curious if other have gleaned more info from their research. Thanks!

I can tell you what I think about Tuck for a career in tech or you can look at employment reports ... Tech was only 11% for Tuck in 2022 best-mba-programs-for-consulting-finance-tech-and-more-421312.html

Their bread and butter and focus is Consulting.... but many schools suffered in Tech in 2023 (still waiting on a number of employment reports from 2023)

Yeah, I see that its around 10%. Just curious about thoughts on that. Too low? Yeah, have to consider the year that tech had too. I can try finding reports from previous years

It is not a focus for them. If you arrange the table and sort it by highest to lowest, Tuck scores the lowest on Tech out of the entire Top 20... so it is the worst choice for admissions and for recruiting. Applying to a school that does not have an area as a strength/focus with a goal in that area lowers your admit chances as well.

Sorry. Tuck is an amazing program and I am a huge fan. You can still apply and try your chances - no harm in that but have other options.

FYI - LinkedIn just released their MBA Rankings with their own methodology and Tuck scored #3 on their list. Quite impressive. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/linkedin ... ols-e2ece/

no need to apologize! I was just thinking from a diversity point of view. I figured writing about Tech (which has been my R1 story) would make me stand out at Tuck since most would talk about Finance/Consulting. But your way of looking at it is just as valid..

Bb is absolutely right in that you should be looking at the school's strengths and typical industry composition of a graduating class. However, unless your chosen industry is completely out of Tuck's scope, it's unlikely it will hamper your chances.

Specifically, it depends on the way you shape your story and how you communicate to them that you believe you can get the right education at the school. For example, Tuck has Operations and Management Science as part of its electives, and courses include data-driven analytics and decision-modelling. These would undoubtedly be helpful for a tech-related career. https://www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/mba/acad ... operations

In addition, Tuck has a "Center for Digital Strategies and its students have worked with Google. https://www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/news/art ... g-strategy
Showing that you know this has done before and will work for your own career will help convince the AdCom that you believe it will be a good fit.

Hope this helps!
