Same here. Have you sent the request to schedule the appointment yet? Or do you plan to have a feedback session at all?

I am in the same boat Tuck vs. Fuqua. Which way are you leaning?

Depends on what you want out of business school. What are your career goals?

I too have a Fuqua acceptance with a scholarship, but I doubt I will take that over Tuck because of the distinct experience and community at Tuck as well as better OCR, especially with the likes of MBB

I was also accepted to both Tuck and Fuqua, and ultimately decided not to choose Fuqua. There are a lot of personal factors to consider, including where you want to be post MBA. For example, for consulting, many firms recruit at fuqua for their southern offices, like Atlanta. Tuck sends more students to the northeast, especially boston. It's a bit more work to go to other regions, but both schools obviously have strong national reputations.

@Suhas, my choice between Kellogg and Tuck was not easy. But ultimately it came down to fit.

Has anybody started the enrolment process? Or is everybody waiting for deposit deadlines?

Can someone share details on the process, how long it takes etc. Surprisingly, there aren't many details in the admit letter or the admitted students website.

If I recall from when I did it, it's quite easy. Basically, all you have to do is click accept the offer in the ApplyYourself portal, check a couple boxes, and pay the deposit (by credit card online or you can mail a check I think). The only other next step that I've done is have my official transcript sent. And you'll have to do the FAFSA form, but that's not dependent on accepting Tuck. Housing (unless you're looking off campus, which is what I did), pre-orientation trips, and other stuff isn't due for awhile. There's a Timeline on the admitted students site of stuff you have to do which helps a bit.

Sending my official transcripts.

But FAFSA is for US students. I'm an international. So any idea on I-20 form? And what about employment verification? I didn't find anything on these on the admitted students website.

If any admitted student would like information to help them make a decision, feel free to reach out to me.
