Need help with below queries. Hope one the Tuck students can help me with these.
a. My long term goal is to turn to rural entrepreneurship. Are there any avenues at Tuck that guide more on this front?
b. I am currently based out of Bangalore, India. On Tuck's unique applicant initiated interivew, I keep hearing the advantage that students have due to this. As much as i would love to do this, I am not in a position to travel all the way to US to visit the campus. How much of a disadvantage is this.
Any answers to the above queries is much appreciated.
I can't answer a. With regards to b, undeniably it is an advantage. But it is not a deal breaker. The advantage comes from the fact that by interviewing and having the admissions team review that with your application, they have more data points. Also by visiting campus, you have more material to use in your essays. However plenty of applicants get into Tuck without ever having set foot on the campus, so it is not a huge disadvantage.
Edit: I recently visited campus and have put up a post of my experience on my blog.
