Hi guys,
Today, I have a class visit and an (open) interview at Tuck. The class visit, which was in the morning, was great, and I had my interview in the afternoon.
I interviewed with a second-year student, and I have mixed feelings about it. There were several questions that I thought that I could have answered better, including "why Tuck?" "tell me about a difficult situation you experienced in the workplace," and "a time where I practiced leadership." For the last two questions, I feel that I could have used better examples, but the "why Tuck," I pretty much just focused on how I want to be part of the small and collaborative community.
On the other hand, I felt that I made some good arguments about why I want an MBA, and how I value a strong community. He agreed with me on some of the points I made.
At the end of the interview, he handed me his business card and told me to email him about anything that I think of. Finally, when he shook my hand, he told me "good luck with the application," and I thought that his tone had a you'll need all the luck in the world vibe to it.
Is handing out business cards at the end of an interview a common practice? Is this a good sign, or a bad sign? Do I follow up with just a "thank you" email, or should I add something else to strengthen my application? I know that the interview is over, so will it help me if I add something at all?
Much thanks.

Handing out a business card is pretty standard. I'm sure there are a lot of ideas about this, but I just follow-up with a quick thank you note that includes my pitch and anything additional that makes sense based on our conversation.

Yup - as politricks mentioned, pretty standard practice. Business School 101 is handing out business cards to everyone 
The only thing I'd add to what he mentioned about the thank you note is if there was a question you think you didn't answer that well, you can drop that in the note too. Tastefully! Don't write a novel. A couple of sentences. Tops. This email needs to be short and to the point!
[EDIT] I want to caveat the above statement - this only applies if you screwed up a response. You're asking them to do more work. So don't take this as the green light to sending additional information unwarranted!
