Got put on the waitlist today. Navy submarine officer for five years, 750 gmat (48v/44q) 5.5 AWA 8ir, 3.86 gpa in EE.

Idk what else I was supposed to do. Tuck is my number one and had a lot of eggs in this basket.

I really hope you get into the other schools you interviewed with because I don't know what else you could have done. To be honest, I sometimes feel the best way to play this admissions game is to have some laissez-faire attitude. Just do your best and let whatever will be happen. Any school should be happy to have you.

Hey.
So I've been waitlisted at Tuck and I think my GMAT score of 690 is the major shortcoming in my profile. Can anyone suggest a good online course to help me boost my score by atleast 30 points?
I've heard Manhattan is good especially when it comes to the difficulty level of the questions. Can anyone corroborate?
Thank you.

What’s your split? If Q is good, only V is the issue, I think E-gmat’s verbal package helps significantly.

Received my WL feedback today. “ At this time, however, there is nothing specific that we would recommend for you to work on while on the waitlist.”

Going to drop from the waitlist today while letting them know they were my #1 if I had gotten any scholarship, but I have to go with a school that has actually accepted me rather than string me along.

All the best! I mean, you got a Wharton admit so congratulations on that! I think most people would take Wharton over Tuck but yeah, the waitlist can be frustrating especially with no conrete actions requested by the adcoms.

Hi Everyone,

We have a chat session with Tuck Admission directors. Patricia and Megan will participate in this chat. The topic is "Ask Us Anything". So, I guess you can make use of this session.

Hello everyone,

I was waitlisted in round 4, I had a low GMAT (620) and got a 720 / Q49-V40 last week. I'm a Latin American, male.

Anyone had a problem in his application like mine?
How much time would it take to the Admissions Committee to evaluate my update?

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Could there still be any hope for WL candidates? Tuck is my first choice and I've been on the waitlist since R2

Hi,

I got off the waitlist after getting a better GMAT (Last week) and was offered to defer. Nevertheless, for an international in this moment; I don''t think so. There are a lot of Visa issues right now.

Did you receive any feedback?

Yes, I believe that getting a better score would help you a lot! If you are i the waitlist the good news is that looks like the rest of the application looks fine.
I hope you can get it done. Let me know if I can help you in any way.
