Does Tuck normally send out confirmation emails (with information specific to that particular round) after a deadline?

Just learned that one of my recommenders submitted a few hours after 5. Is this going to be an issue?

This happens all the time. Most schools do not mind if your recommender is a few days late, as long as your application is on time, and the recommendation is there when they review your application.

Relax, same thing happened to me (although my boss was only 1 hour late), I freaked out, emailed admissions, and thay said it would be fine.

Also, when I saw it was 5pm and I hadn't received an email confirming my CSQ had been sent, I went straight to my boss and "kindly" asked if he was experiencing any technical difficulties :-D . He told me that in the email he got from Tuck, there was only reference to date (Deadline 10/9) but no reference to time (5pm).
Don't know if that's true or if he just didn't bother to read the whole thing, but if that's the case, I'm sure Tuck accepts CSQs at least until 11:59pm.

That's a good point. That's true. It doesn't say anything about a time deadline on the letter to the recommenders. I created a fake account for me so that I could see the recommendation questions, so I know what the email looks like.

I asked the AO on Oct 8th and was told that "invitations to interview will be ongoing now until approximately the end of November."

Hey I don't think there is a specific timeline. However, I suggest you to do the applicant initiated interview. Below is the overview of how Tuck selects its students. I am posting verbatim of associate director of admissions at Tuck, Pat Harrison. I just loved the beauty of the process. We all will get our fair chance, I think :)

====
Those of you applying today might be curious as to what happens to your application next...

Once we get it, we print out the application and put it in a file with your letters of recommendation (which hopefully have already arrived), and the write-up from your interview (assuming you have already completed one). The complete file then goes to one of our eight admissions committee members for the first read. S/he reads everything that has been submitted and writes a brief evaluation of the pros and cons of the file and makes a recommendation whether to admit or deny the applicant. If the applicant has not already had an interview, the reader also makes a recommendation whether we should invite him/her to interview. Please note that this happens for EVERYONE. We don’t have minimum cut-offs for GMAT, GPA, work experience, etc. All files go through this process. Next, the complete file then goes on to a second adcom reader for another full read. S/he goes through the same exercise and makes a recommendation whether to admit or deny.

Next stop is our Director of Admissions, Dawna Clarke. She reviews each reader’s comments and may read some or all of the file if she needs further clarification. Some of the applicants she reviews are clear admits, and some are unfortunately clear denies. She makes a final decision on those groups accordingly. However, a larger number of applicants fall somewhere in the middle, and that group goes to “committee.”

Committee occurs at the end of the application round, and basically we lock ourselves in a conference room for a few days, with a generous supply of junk food, and the group discusses each applicant. Some of those discussions are lengthy and some become quite passionate. Eventually we arrive at a final decision as a group. Final decisions are then communicated to all applicants via their on-line admissions account on the published notification date. Hopefully, the news is good!

The important thing to take away is that A LOT of time and attention is given to every single application. One of the things I am most proud of is how thoughtful our process is. We really try to get to know each of the applicants as a person, not just their stats. All of the hard work you put into your application is appreciated, and we really do read every essay you write."

====

Best,
Prodizy

need your suggestions
is it bad if I don't go to the coffee session Tuck invited me(even it seems to be sent out automatically)? I got the email on Sept 9 which I didnt care too much since the place is in another city. But today I got another "reminder" email from Tuck again. I'm not sure if I should cancel all my work and head for it...

It is automated and sent out to every applicant in the area. You may go online and decline the invitation. It won't be looked unfavorably.

Don't worry the adcoms are not going to put a black mark against your application for not going.

In case anyone is interested, I got some clarification on the scholarship essay. The Admissions Committee rarely reads any of the scholarship essays, but the AdCom (not the FinAid Office) does actually decide the annual scholarship recipients based on the materials in candidates' applications.

The scholarship essay is used by the Financial Aid office to see if candidates are eligible for any special earmarked funds that are special some way. Like an alum may have decided this year to put up some money for a special scholarship just for this year. The financial aid office knows the criteria for these sources of funds, and uses the scholarship essays to see whether candidates qualify. I was also told that the Financial Aid office usually doesn't have any other materials from a person's application, but may refer to it if the office has any questions.

Just be relaxed, be yourself, try to pick up as much about the school and culture as possible. Tuck was the third school I have interviewed with, and it was by far the most pleasant of the 3.

Just sent my scholarship application into the Tuck Fin Aid office. Warning to everyone who hasn't filled out the form yet: you have to print out the form instead of saving it. Saving it will not preserve your responses in the boxes (unless there is some way in Adobe to do it that I'm not aware of.)
