Is Tuck really going to invite more students for an off-campus interview? Its been a month now and now I am getting worried :(

I am worried too, but as far as I know, nobody from my country(Brazil) got any kind of response. So I guess they are still working on my application, or maybe they didn´t even started, cause I did not receive that e-mail confirming that my application is under review..

Is there any Latin American there willing to share your situation?

I'm also from Brazil, re-applicant. Last year, I've applied on the January round, got my interview invite about 2 weeks after submitting (submitted on the last day of the deadline). Even though I was invited to interview (Tuck does not invite as many applicants to interview as other schools do), I got waitlisted, then dinged in July.
This year, I decided not to take any chances, and traveled up there to interview. During my feedback last year (they provide feedback to all waitlisted applicants), they strongly recommended that I should apply EA this year, and go to Hanover if possible. I took their advice and went there in October to interview.

I wouldn't worry about getting that email, some people don't get it, and it doesn't mean anything. People here just stress over every little thing that happens, and try to guess what everything means. If you're an EA applicant, relax, there's still time to get invited and interview, just hope for the best.

If you'd like to chat any further, please PM me.

Best,

I am also a re-applicant and I fall into the Indian IT Male category.

I could not process my US visa since I moved to Germany and had to complete WP formalities here before applying for the US Visa. I have explained it to them in the application form. Hope they consider it.. Fingers crossed!

Else its a certain ding from Tuck for me!

Adcoms do understand and empathize with difficulties prospective students face acquiring travel visa from a 3rd (non-nationality) country. Looks like you have a genuine reason for not visiting Tuck - dont worry too much.

I read in last year's thread that an adcom member stated that most decisions for EA are made by Thanksgiving, which is on November 28th this year. So I conclude that some more invitations could go out the upcoming week, at least to internationals that are likely not traveling to Hanover. Does not help me, though - I did an applicant international interview, so I will not get any feedback till December 18th...

Here is the info (tuck-2013-dartmouth-calling-all-applicants-134967-260.html#p1142909):

Revelations at the New Delhi information session

1. almost 50-60% of the class is decided by the November round. Offers made are more in EA than in any other round
2. January round is the biggest in terms of number of applicants - is hence also the most competitive if you put point 1 in conjunction here
3. The admissions team member said that rather than apply in January, she would urge the applicant to try EA next year, given how statistically the chances are better
4. Tuck prefers to meet you face to face, a Skype is a last resort ALWAYS

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.

Hello from Tuck! Thank you all for your interest in Tuck. I want to take a moment to clarify Tuck's position as it pertains to a couple of comments I have seen here. First, admissions decisions for the EA (early action) round are typically not decided by Thanksgiving (the end of November) (in fact, we haven't even read every application by then). In fact, admissions decisions may be made up until the day the admission decision is posted (December 18). Second, in general we would not advise applicants not to apply to the January round in favor of postponing applying the the EA round the following year. Apply when you are ready to apply and you feel you have the best possible application to submit. If that's the January round, then don't hesitate to submit then. In general, most of the application rounds are more or less equal in terms of overall quality of the applicant pool, so you have fairly limited ability to be strategic on this part of the process. So, instead of over-thinking a part of the process that is largely out of your control (the number of applications we receive and the overall quality of those applications), spend your time putting together the best possible application, getting to know Tuck, honing and presenting your story, and connecting with alums and current students. Good luck!

Does anyone has an idea about H1B to F1 visa conversion? Can an H1B holder apply for F1 visa? I am working on H1B and I have to leave my employer for MBA, so I would need F1.

I heard that H1B holder are not eligible for F1.

Can anyone please help with this?

I visited Tuck this past weekend and it was a great experience. I have not applied to Tuck but encourage all of you to visit so that you can get a sense of the school culture and to make sure that you are willing to spend 18 months in Hanover. And take lots of coats/jackets! Best of luck to everyone!

Where did you hear that? Any such restrictions would be there in US visa pages.
H1b and F1 are different visas intended for different purpose, there should not be any reason why anyone will stop you from applying for F1 while holding H1.

Hello there josemnz83,

You didn't apply to Tuck?!?! Is there a particular reason why? That is too bad; good luck with the rest of your applications!

FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: Career Treks - Consulting, Exploring Firm Culture
Each year as the first – and notoriously rigorous – term comes to a close, the Career Development Office (CDO), in conjunction with student clubs, organizes multiple Career Treks. The Treks offer a unique opportunity for first-year students to travel as a group, visiting sought after companies and speaking with key employees. So far, over 70% of the Class of 2015 has gone on one of three Career Treks; Marketing, Finance (both in New York), and Consulting (Boston). In the next few weeks, students, as well as the CDO, will share their experiences.

Consulting Trek (Boston, MA)

 

Stephen Pidgeon (T’07) is an Associate Director in Tuck’s CDO, and specializes in the consulting, healthcare, and media industries. Before joining the Career Development Office, Stephen was an Engagement Manager at McKinsey in London, where he focused on healthcare consulting, with a functional specialty in org work. Prior to Tuck he worked for 11 years in television and film, directing and producing a number of television series and a movie.

Each year, Tuck’s consulting club runs a trek to Boston to visit the offices of consulting companies. This year 115 students visited 11 (or 12) companies in 3 days. Partners and recruiters at the companies have told us that Tuck is the only school to organize such a trek. They love the program because it is a chance for students to get a good understanding of the company’s culture.

Jennifer Tietz, T’15, grew up in the Midwest before graduating from the US Naval Academy with a BS in Mathematics. She also earned a Master of Engineering Management from Old Dominion University. Prior to Tuck, Jen served as Lieutenant Commander and Nuclear Surface Warfare Officer in the United States Navy.  At Tuck, she’s active in the Armed Forces Alumni Association (AFAA) and founded Tuck Tastes, a food/gastronomy club.  After Tuck, she hopes to do consulting in London. 

What a whirlwind!  Three days in Boston with the opportunity to visit twelve different consulting firms.  I personally visited nine (Parthenon, L.E.K., OC&C, Monitor Deloitte., EY, Liberty Mutual (internal consulting), Bain, BCG and McKinsey and Co.) and felt totally worn out by the end.  These career decisions certainly are not easy, but the Trek offered a great opportunity to meet some consultants in their “natural habitat”.   All in all, it would be an honor to work in any of the firms we visited.  They all do important work for amazing clients, so for me, it really comes down to determining the fit between my personality and the personality of the firm. 

We started out early on Wednesday morning by boarding a bus in Hanover.  The Parthenon Group offered us a VERY warm welcome upon our arrival in Boston.  One of their partners donned his Tuck Hockey jersey to present his remarks, and then they gave us a tour of their beautiful new offices on Rowes Wharf.  Coming from the Navy, I guarantee none of my offices were ever that nice, though both Parthenon and my Navy ships do have an amazing view in common.   It was a nice introduction for me as to what my new career may look like.

After that, we went on a great ‘tour’ of the different neighborhoods of Boston as we visited the other offices for lunches, breakfasts, and cocktail hours.  In each place, it was clear the consultants there love what they do and are really proud of their firm’s reputation and value proposition.  We saw a mix of firms who have a Monday through Thursday (almost every week) travel model, to others who only travel a few days a year.  There seem to be benefits to both, and it was really fun to speak with my classmates about their perceptions of each firm.  A firm I loved, others may not have felt a connection with, and vice versa.  Consultants at each place we went felt their firm had a culture that represented Tuck’s, which just goes to show the diversity of the Tuck experience for each individual. 

Most schools do not get to do Treks like these in Boston, but Tuck has built a great rapport with the recruiting teams at each firm, and it allows us to go back each year.  Though it was hard to make personal connections with over 100 of us in attendance, the Trek was invaluable for being able to directly compare and contrast firms in a short period of time.  It solidified my desire to go into consulting, and helped me narrow down my search.  Most importantly, it allowed me to spend a lot of time with my classmates who are on similar journeys of self-discovery, and to meet a lot of Tuck Alumni who are very happy in their chosen careers!

FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: Two months…
I wouldn't do any justice summarizing my time here in the last 2 months in one blog post. But hey, have to give it a try!

What did I do after the Orientation Week? Each day has been new, exciting and challenging at the same time. Every day deserves a blog entry (which I can't afford to)

So, what happened? I will talk through pictures. Where I don't have one, will drop a brief note.

Ready?

a)  Crazy Fall-A: I got into one of the best study groups! Courses and schedule were so overwhelming and fun. Sleep timings changed drastically. On-campus company briefings, club intros, midterms, parties and finals. That's all!

If I look back, I would definitely go through Fall-A once again and still love it. It was so exciting I realized that was what I came here for, and I am getting it all!

 b) Scavenger Hunt:



c) Tripod hockey - my only goal is to balance on ice and skate. And, my Cluster Puck group is so congenial...!



d) CoastToCoast - 3000 miles - with team effort, we stood 3rd!



e) Crazier Fall-B: We are half-way through Fall-B and finished our midterms last week. What happened mean while?

f) Women In Business conference: Ask the prospective students who attended!



g) Diversity Conference: This weekend is the DivCo weekend. Black light party is happening right now!

    Tuck Tails & International Food Festival  -  A photo speaks a 1000 words.

            

 

 h) Last but not the least - Section Wars have started. Yes..the war mongers have unleashed themselves!!

Would I have it any different? Definitely not..

FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: Applying in January? Plan Your Visit to Tuck
If you are applying in the January Round, I strongly encourage you to visit us and take advantage of our open interview policy.

Interviewing before you submit your application will inform your "why Tuck" essay and will help you articulate why you think Tuck is a good fit for you and you for Tuck. I have heard many current students say that are were glad that they made the time and commitment to visiting Tuck when they were prospective students because it helped them get a better sense of what Tuck is all about. While you may hear and read a lot about the environment, you won’t know what it’s truly like until you actually experience it first-hand.

I've been here for two years and have seen every applicant pass through these doors and of the things I frequently hear from them is how glad they are that they visited.

When you register for an interview, your visit will also include a lunch and tour with Tuck students, a Q&A session with an Admissions Officer and if possible, a chance to sit in on a first year class.  Not only does it offer us a chance to get to know you better, but it’s a great opportunity see what an exceptional and welcoming community Tuck truly is.

Of course, we understand that there may be circumstances that prevent you from visiting us, and that's ok. We do interview candidates by invitation, so you don't need to have interviewed and visited to submit your application.

Please register for an interview as soon as possible since interviews tend to book quickly.

I look forward to seeing you soon and hope that you enjoy your visit to Tuck!
