Hey guys,
Sorry for being unavailable for last couple of days. As a T'15, I am barely keeping up with Fall B Accounting, Recruiting, Tripod Hockey, and Murphys.
Some quick (and very obvious) updates/suggestions from my side:
1. Try to send "thank you" notes to people who helped you through out your MBA application process. This includes your peer groups, people who wrote your recommendations, AdComs you interacted with, your interviewer at Tuck (and other schools), and most importantly say thanks to your friends and family for tolerating you throughout the process.
2. Relax. Remember you have done your part. Its very common to have that feeling of reaching out to the AdCom regarding the status of your application, chances of success, recent (scheduled) promotion or updated employment report. Hold on to that feeling unless you think its critical and it will drastically improve your chances at Tuck.
3. Hedge your bets and start working on Round 2 applications. You may choose not to submit them later.
4. Don't loose focus on your current job (and your career progress). Even if you get in to Tuck, you wont matriculate before Aug 2014. Sweet promotion to Project Manager or Senior Associate or an Economist (in my case) will help during first year recruitment at Tuck (exactly 11 months from now).
Keep me posted, and if you have any specific queries, shoot me a PM. Glad to chat.
Hope you all make it to Tuck next year.
