Tuck 2013 (Dartmouth) - Calling All Applicants

I hope I get shown some love on December 14!

30% rise in EA applicants is certainly bad news for applicants. When I visited Tuck in summer, the adcom was complaining that the number of applicants has been falling in the last 2 years. I guess they should be happy now!

Thanks for sharing this, Pru!

Number 1 gives me hope. A little bit. But hope nonetheless...

Number 6 I think is something everyone should really understand and take into consideration in choosing a school.
A lot has been said about students fitting into a school. But I think what some people fail to consider is that FIT is two-way. Career services also need to ensure they can deliver on an applicant's expectations, especially because student satisfaction is a big driver in some rankings.

Offices should be closing now. No more invites until monday.

Did any of the R1 applicants who didnt go for the self-initiated interview in Hanover receive interview calls yet?
I am an international applicant and keep watching my phone for a call!

I'm not sure they will cold call you. What seems to be the norm is that you get an email telling you that they're inviting you to interview with them, and then you set-up the date, time, and logistics.

To answer your question though:
It appears none of international R1 applicants (at least here in gmatclub) who did not initiate and interview and who are not from a country where admissions events were held got invited to an interview yet.

I second Jason. Hopefully next week will bring some good news

I doubt it. I think they have already initiated skype interviews with intl. candidates. Another forum reports invites from Japan, Belgium, Korea, Russia, Brazil, Canada and Mexico in addition to India. As per Tuck website, no admission event was held in Belgium, Brazil, Canada and Mexico after Oct 10, the first round deadline. So, I am assuming that few intl. applicants on this forum have received skype invites. Further, the sample size on these forums is too small.

Hey Guys,

Looking for opinions on this:

I'm an EA applicant and did a self-initiated interview. Thus I have no bearing on my candidacy at Tuck (since I consider interview invites initiated by the school as somewhat of a sign of interest).

I recently received a promotion and in addition to the increase in job scope, I will now manage a team.

Should I let Tuck adcoms know of this recent change? (since EA decision is only a few weeks away)

Thnx

Any waitlist applicants from last year? Have you received interview or any update from admission office?

I was a waitlist applicant. But don't you just self initiate interviews? I did get a feedback session from adcom though.

International reapplicant. No interview / no update.

Almost all interview invites have changed to interview completed on this forum. So, I am assuming that Tuck will be reviewing/done with reviewing the EA round applications. Is there still any chance for an intl. interview invite? I have heard from students that Yale, Darden and Cornell can send invites even one week before the decision day. Can we expect something similar from Tuck or no?

FYI,

anyone recieved interview for nov round (not self initiated)?

Live Essay Writing Workshop, presented by Admissionado

Sigh. The MBA Application essays. Who thought it was a good idea to ask people to write 2000 words before they even get INTO school? Turns out, it doesn’t matter, because someone did… and now you have to come up with the most compelling and memorable essays about leadership that you can. And then do it again for every school you apply to.

It’s not easy, but this upcoming event should help. Submit your MBA Application essay to have an opportunity to have it reviewed for free by the team at Admissionado. Three essays will be selected, and if you are one of the lucky ones, you will have the opportunity to go through your essay with Phillip Herring (admissions expert and CBS MBA) in a live session. You will need to be OK with sharing your essay with attendees (don’t worry – we’ll keep your name/private info out of it), and available and online at the time of the event to chat it up with Phillip.
