Guys, I applied for EA but no invitation yet.

Do you think I should contact Admissions or wait more time?

Thanx

Did any of the second yr students contact yet? I haven't received mine yet.
Also I learnt Nov18th onwards second years have exams, hope this interview doesn't eat too much into their study time etc.

So, if "Completed" field is blank, it means that recommender has not yet submitted his CSQ? Just to clear things up...

sophie,

would you mind sharing your interview experience with us? I'm assuming they asked about your resume, why MBA, why Booth, and the teamwork questions that you mentioned. Was there anything else that was out of the ordinary?

Also, I can't find on the forum what type of interview you went through - was it a skype one or a face to face with an alum? If it was skype, did you end up wearing a headphone with a mic or some other type of layout? I've been pondering this question for awhile since I thought i'd look a bit silly with a suit/tie and a headphone on my head when talking to my interviewer haha.

Looks like you felt pretty confident afterwards, best of wishes for you and your admissions journey!

rdxb,

I have to respectfully disagree with sophie on her strategy. While I think that, for example, your career goals and why Tuck, and how you would contribute to Tuck, should more or less remain consistent with the rest of your paper application, there is real room for you to further provide color to your overall application by giving them examples of challenges, leadership, strengths and weaknesses that expand upon or are different than what you mentioned in your essays.

Of course, you have to be careful with what you highlight and the examples that you choose. For example, regarding a challenge, you still have to ensure that the challenge is not a recent example - so that you can effectively show that you have grown from said challenge, etc. With weaknesses, you have to make sure that they aren't so serious that they are detrimental to your application.

anyways, just my 2 cents,

philly

Hey friends,
Does Tuck give out admits without any interview.. Maybe i am tooooooo optimistic.. but still the answer to this question will help in pacifying my anxiety..
If Tuck interviews all admitted students then I will assume my app was so bad to be eligible for an interview, else i will assume that my app is so good that I may get an admit without an interview. :-)

Anyway All The Best for Interview Call Getters...

From the FAQs:
"If you have not been able to interview by the deadline, the admissions committee may invite you to interview if they feel it is necessary. Because we cannot invite all applicants to interview, if you would like to guarantee an interview, you should schedule an on-campus interview..."

Well have 2 questions around the application

1. The scholarship essay - do we have to get this in by the application deadline or there is some buffer period.

2. The form for Financial aid(international applicants) - we dont need to fill that in right now correct???

Thanks in advance......

Does anybody know when to expect 'the wave' of invitations this year for EA round?

At the moment it seems that only small share of those who didn't attend student-initiated interview got an invite...

I "heard" that we can expect something coming this or the next week, until last week of November.
After this ADCOM will make decisions regarding EA.

Ok, but Tuck claims in its application instructions that all kinds of interview are considered equally in terms of admission success.

A Tuck rep presented at the Kaplan road to b-school in NYC. One thing the Tuck rep said was it takes people who self initiate very seriously, and take all communication and correspondences with the school very seriously.

All interviews may be considered equally, but self initiating is more about the candidate than about the interview.

My interviewer replied once with a suggestion on available dates and replied back asking him to finalize any as per his convenience and let me know. It has been 2 days and I need to book my tickets asap. I mean one of the dates is as early as 12th Nov. Is it fine to send him a reminder mail saying - Just trying to find out if you have finalized an appointment day for our meet. ???

I live on the opposite side of the Earth, so I hope they will take my circumstances into consideration.

Nevertheless, I got your point, thank you.

I think it would be fine to send him polite message. Why not?

Obviously, for your circumstances, this is your reality. For folks stateside, the reality is much different. It's not that unreasonable to trek out there and make the visit.

Does anyone have any idea about the recommendation letter?

I read the application instructions that the recommendations should be submitted before deadline...

But I know other schools are pretty flexible with this and usually allow more days for the recommenders to submit the letters...

Any ideas? Thanks!

To echo mohater's comments, the self-initiated interview is an admit/deny decision maker between two applicants all other things being equal. This was a confirmed by an Adcom during my visit to Hanover.

However, they do understand that international students may not be able to make that commitment. When I went there though, there were a bunch of visiting candidates from Brazil. I think they will certainly have a leg up over other Brazilians when they're applying.
