One more thing I must mention which she spoke about was that she is returning from India on 19th. Post that, the committee will convene to start making decisions for EA round. I think it is then that more invites will come out as they may feel the class is not turning out the way they want it to or they haven't found enough good quality candidates. Either way, she said that by thanksgiving they are pretty much done with decisions and only a few, if any, more decisions are left to be made. Their attention by then has diverted to Nov round.
Hope this helps.[/quote]
This gives me hope till next Friday, after that it will be more or less over. Tuck was my first choice among all the schools and I tried my best to convey the same through the essays, guess that not being able to initiate applicant interview at Hanover might be the deciding factor.[/quote]
Hi icecube6000
Trust me not visiting Hanover cannot be held against you. I am saying this only after talking about this issue at length with several international students and alums from Tuck. None of them (I talked to) visited the campus before getting in. Personally, as an Indian, I think its almost financially impractical for Asian candidates to travel to the US just to interview (w/o knowing the outcomes). However, at the same time, I think its incredibly important for candidates living the US to travel to Tuck, shows seriousness and what not.
May be I am wrong, but I would still say dont blame yourself. Visiting the campus helps but I wonder what % of non-US based International candidates ever visit and get admitted.
Should stop rambling now.
