I am trying to register for the Applicant Initiated Interview along with a Class visit. However the date I can be there at Tuck has no free slot - the status says "Accepting Waitlists". Does anybody know how the waitlist works and if it at all it clears? Since you can only make one registration, I do not want to be in a situation where I travel all the way up there and do not get to do an interview. I am an international applicant, by the way.

Thanks!

solerenegade - I'll suggest you to talk to adcom about this, missing the opportunity to interview during your trip will be quite a setback. You definitely need conclusive advice on the matter.

I registered for a waitlist appointment, and got an email back about a week later saying there had been an opening and I should go online and register. So apparently spots do open up. I don't think it would hurt to put a request in, but note that you can online have one date registered at a time so if you have some flexibility I'd make sure to sign up for a date you can get an interview for sure.

FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: A Real Feel for Consulting: Boston Career Trek


By Eric Fiegoli T’16

Eric grew up just north of New York City and graduated from Lehigh University with a bachelor’s in finance. Prior to Tuck, Eric worked in financial services at both Deutsche Bank and TD Securities. At Deutsche, he was an analyst in the Credit Risk Group, and at TD Securities he worked as an associate in debt capital markets and fixed income sales & trading. At Tuck, Eric is an active member of the Tuck Band and is looking forward to hitting the slopes with the Tuck Ski and Snowboard Club. After Tuck, Eric hopes to pursue consulting in the Northeast. 

Fall A is in the books! It’s been an incredibly busy four weeks of school. As the term wrapped up, over 100 T’16s trekked down to Boston to visit a host of consulting firms. We began the visits on Wednesday and finished up on Friday, making it a long but productive three days. I think most of us would agree that in the end, seeing these consulting firms in person, meeting with their employees, and hearing about their experiences gave us a much better sense of the field and the distinct culture at each company.

We began the trip with a Tuck favorite: the Parthenon Group. We met representatives in their beautiful new offices on Rowes Wharf that overlook Boston Harbor. Given that founder of the firm Bill Achtmeyer T'81 is a Tuckie himself, and that many of the consultants are very enthusiastic about their two years up in Hanover, you can imagine that Tuck pride permeates the air. Everyone was interested to hear various members of the firm discuss Parthenon’s recent merger with Ernst & Young and how it might affect company culture and firm dynamics moving forward.

For me, the highlight of the visit was when a Parthenon consultant gave a rundown of the analysis she completed for cases in three very diverse industries. Her presentation gave us a feel for the true breadth of work you can engage in as a consultant.

Although it was raining in Boston, we still managed to visit three additional companies by the end of the first day. At each company, we were able to get a feel for the culture which differed based on consistency of weekly travel to the different industries in which the firm maintained a core competency. Many firms also start post-MBA consultants in a generalist model, allowing each consultant a taste of different industries before diving into a specialization later in his or her career. Consultants at each firm expressed the strong passion they had for their work as well as the strengths of the firm and why it was such a great place to develop a career.

By Friday afternoon, we had already visited a range of firms with cultures that varied from extremely casual to more conservative. The people, work streams, and consulting styles all differentiated each firm from the other. Almost every firm contained at least one employee from Tuck, and it became apparent that consulting is one of Tuck’s deeply rooted strengths. Our three days in Boston not only helped me get a better idea of the style of each firm, the visits also allowed me to converse with a range of different consultants about their experiences and career paths after business school. Going through this process with my fellow classmates gave me the unique opportunity to engage in further discussions about the companies we just visited and take some time to reflect on my experiences. If consulting is the career that you want to pursue coming from business school, Tuck is clearly one of the best schools to help accelerate you down that path.

I came home after work 10 minutes ago and just out of curiosity refreshed the registration page.
*BOOM*
there was a vacancy on the date I intended to interview and with a few clicks I am all set! :D

Thanks for the help guys!

for those in EA who have an interviewed scheduled but not completed yet, just a heads up my application status changed from "submitted" to "complete" the day after my interview this week. so for those in that boat who are wondering why their apps still say submitted, the interview is probably why!

for those without interviews scheduled, sorry this is probably no help

Mine is still saying submitted, I actually had my interview before I submitted, so I'm not sure.

Last year I was in the same boat.... the conclusion was that the "submitted" to "complete" was a bit random.

In my personal opinion, it's not random. For an application to be marked as complete, the following needs to be true:
1. It should be submitted in whole (duh!)
2. Interview should either be completed or reason should be provided for not scheduling it. (Future scheduling won't help)
3. The application needs to be manually cross-checked by admissions office person.
If any of the above step is not complete, then your application will be at submitted stage. (Forget about step 1, it's just "step 1".)

FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: A Summer Internship to Cherish Forever



By Arpitha Dhanapathi T’15


Arpitha is a second-year student at Tuck. Prior to school, she worked at Microsoft in Seattle, WA. Arpitha is from Bangalore, India and did her undergrad in BITS-Pilani, Rajasthan, India. Over summer 2014, she interned at Intellectual Ventures in Bellevue, WA. She is also co-chair for the 2014 Tuck Diversity Conference and works as an admissions associate, helping to lead the Tuck Venture Fund. She loves hiking, reading, writing, and night skies. Post Tuck, she plans to work in the technology industry.

Over the summer, I was fortunate enough to have worked at Intellectual Ventures (IV) in Seattle, WA, one of the largest filers of U.S. patents. Since this was such a unique opportunity, I thought I’d share a few words about how I got there and what it was like to be there.

My criteria for my summer experience was pretty clear:

  • Work for a cool company
  • Develop good network
  • Learn a lot
  • Find a company in Seattle (Yes—that was a big part of the criteria!)

I learned about IV while working at Microsoft—before coming to school—and felt it was a really cool company. They work in intellectual property (IP) and patents—sourcing, bundling, and licensing. They’ve created a marketplace for IP. What I found most interesting was that they do a lot of in-house research, develop interesting patents, and have even spun off of a few cool companies like Terrapower—a clean, nuclear energy firm which is backed by Bill Gates. I like that they are futuristic and willing to take long term bets which is quite hard to find these days.

While searching for alums in Seattle, I came across John Boomgard, who is working at Global Good, IV’s sister organization. I kept in touch with John and he helped me get interviews with the Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) team—the team that I worked with over summer.

OCTO was a small group of approximately 20 very smart people led by Edward Jung, the chief technology officer and cofounder of IV. Innovation Mega Projects (IMP) group within OCTO was a cool initiative that enabled us to work on some of the world’s biggest challenges in innovative ways. Here are a few examples:

  • Learning about energy markets and translating that knowledge to come up with new ways of constructing buildings
  • Understanding food supply chain in a deep way and working with governments to make them more efficient
  • Conceptualizing smart aging that enables elderly to age gracefully

During my internship, I was introduced to energy markets in the United States in a deep way. I carried out analysis of U.S. energy markets—through the Energy Information Association (EIA) and other sources—and developed insight into how much energy is being used by buildings, problems analyzing data at a regional level, and a few places where possible efficiency gains could be realized. I also carried out research on a number of smart cities around the world in order to understand common patterns in technologies and governance that might help our project. Half my summer was spent envisioning how futuristic modular buildings would disrupt the way humans live. I was introduced to, and was surprised by, my own new found love for economic modelling. Finally, I delved deeply into the world of the construction and demolition, which I had little knowledge of before. There are billions of dollars in these fragmented markets!

The crown jewel of my experience was getting to know all the extremely smart yet down-to-earth people and having the opportunity to work with them. I got to meet and talk to scientists, business development managers, lawyers, industry professionals—all in just three short months. My summer experience will always remain a memory I will cherish forever.

For those looking to do off-campus recruiting, I would just say—go for it! There are a lot of cool companies out there. The Tuck alumni network is a strong group that you can always rely on. Make sure you connect the strings and reach out to your network as efficiently as possible. You will be amazed at the results!

Yeah I didn't mean random as in they randomly change the status; rather random that they don't go in order of applications being turned in.

I met all three of the criteria you listed and my app is still listed as "submitted."

just wanted to confirm something. on the gmatclbu bot on bottom of page, it indicates that tuck will send out interview invites for EA applicants on Oct 31st. is that true? on the website i only see it saying that Oct 31 is last day for applicant self initiated interviews which are all on campus.

being located halfway around the world, i'm not sure if i can ultimately make it to the interview slot i signed up for. i emailed adcom and asked if i might be able to interview during one of the upcoming asia info sessions such as HK, Seoul or Tokyo. however the HK info session is on 10/29. any chance they might release invites earlier to allow me to possibly fly there for interview?

any insight would be much appreciated!

How do you know they did #3?
I'm curious too, to know how you found out about completion of step 3. :shock:
Until they personally send you an email stating that the app had been checked and found to be OK, one can't be sure about step 3 (again, my personal opinion).
However, it is not "compulsory" for them to send you that email. It just depends on the person who checked it, and the only other way to find out if it (the app) has been manually checked, is to refer to app status. It's a typical catch 22 situation. ;)
