Thanks a lot! What time did you get the call? On the same day as the decision date or on the next day (according to the Indian time)

Around 12noon IST on D-day if I remember correctly, but definitely before it was updated online. So if your online account is going to be updated on the 13th, expect a call on the 12th.

Getting antsy - so much waiting for all of the schools this round for me. I interviewed very early in the cycle for all of them.

FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: Myths About Applying to Business School


April 1st is the deadline for the final application round at Tuck, so we thought we'd share Laura's story, who was a successful final round applicant.

Laura is an MBA candidate in the class of 2015 at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. Laura is from Romania and lived in in the South of France where she worked in the IT industry as a Product Marketing Manager. After Tuck, Laura would like to live on the West Coast and bring to market smart devices that improve the quality of life. Read Laura's thoughts on applying in April.

Like most candidates who are considering whether to apply in a school's final round, you probably have a lot of questions, maybe even assumptions. While we can't speak for every school, there are a few things you should know about applying to Tuck's final application round:

Tuck does not allocate a specific number of admit slots per round.  The number of applicants who are admitted in each round is greatly influenced by the overall quality and size of the application pool each year.

International students may still be admitted in the final round.  Again, because the overall makeup of the applicant pool varies from year-to-year, how and when applicants are admitted is partly the result of the ongoing application process. It is, however, important to keep in mind that the timing for obtaining the necessary student Visas is greatly shortened if you are an international student admitted in the April round.

Is it better to wait to apply in an early round next year than in the last round this year? While it's true that the dwindling seats available in the class make the the final application round more competitive than the early rounds, there are April applicants who are admitted. Keep in mind that a strong application will stand out--regardless of the round it is received in. The important takeaway here is that you should focus on submitting the best application you can and apply when the timing works best for you. So, if that's in April, great! If not, be sure to commit the time and thought to submitting your best application next year.

As you navigate the application process, we hope you will reach out to us with any questions or concerns you may have.  For more application insights, event invitations, and deadline reminders, please create a Tuck profile

We look forward to meeting you and reading your application!

Indeed, the wait is pretty tough! I am an Indian applicant and I interviewed in person at the Tuck campus. Beautiful place, so I hope we all get to enjoy it together!

The wait is terrible. Even though I bombed my interview, I am still hoping against hope that things turn around eventually.

With the admission results out soon, i am re-living my interview. It makes me wonder if the interview as the final point of decision is the best way to decide. What if the interviewer on that very day decides to be in a bad mood and hence chooses to dislike you from the very outset? That's what I believe happened with me and I will most definitely be writing to the adcomm abt the terrible experience. Not what I expected from tuck alums at all! Very very disappointed.

The interview is only a data point, and interviewers have different interviewing styles. I find it a little hard to believe that an alum would willingly sign up to perform interviews for the sole purpose of sabotaging potential students. I would recommend not reaching out to the admissions committee about it, but to each their own. Good luck, hope it works out for you.

Yes they do call the international applicants also. As per an admitted student from India who has posted above, we can expect the call on the decision day itself.

Does that mean 13th Friday IST or their 13th Friday? Makes a difference - do we expect in the morning or evening :) :)

Also, when will the decision be posted online? Any time specified?

FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: “I am a small business owner, a career woman, and a Tuck partner”


By Erin Gallagher, Tuck Partner (TP) '16

Originally from Central Illinois, Erin moved to Hanover after spending six years working in Chicago. Her husband Mike is a T '16. Upon moving, Erin left her full-time position as a meeting & event planner and started her own freelance planning business. Moving to Tuck presented a perfect opportunity to start a new business. Outside of work, Erin is also a member of the TP Board, serving as the visitor co-chair. Erin participates in both the Book and Work from Home clubs. Mike will be spending the summer in New York while Erin stays with friends for a famous Hanover summer!

The decision to come to Tuck was not a very difficult one for my husband Mike and me. Business school—specifically Tuck—had been a dream of Mike’s for a long time. While I was well aware of that, it was important to me that my career not get lost in the shuffle. Shortly after accepting the offer from Tuck, we made another big life decision: I left my full-time job as a meeting and event planner to venture out on my own as a freelance planner.

I've always wanted to start my own meeting management business and after nearly seven years learning the ropes at a firm in Chicago, I finally felt ready. We moved to Hanover in July 2014 and I set up shop in our
second bedroom at our home in Sachem Village.

I now spend my days creating theme parties, negotiating contracts, and taking calls with clients from the comfort of my own home. My commute is a few steps across the hall and I do my work wearing yoga pants more often than I care to admit.

I do sometimes worry about the seclusion and loneliness that can come with working remotely. When I start to feel that I need human interaction, I will stop by the homes of other TPs who I know also work remotely. Sometimes we just have a quick “water cooler chat” and sometimes we’ll work together to help combat the quiet. Other times I will move my office over to Tuck just to be surrounded by the energy and busy-ness of the students.

I still do a lot of work for my old company in Chicago. The people I work with there are some of my best friends and it’s easy to feel excluded or forgotten when you’re not in the same office all day every day. This is where technology comes in very handy. Not only do I Skype in for team meetings, I even FaceTime into monthly happy hours (complete with my own appetizers and glass of wine at home) to help keep the friendship and camaraderie alive.

The best part about all of this is that work no longer consumes my whole life. I have a better work life balance now than I ever did before. I have the freedom to take my husband to class in the morning and meet up with friends for an afternoon walk. I get to meet my husband for coffee whenever our schedules allow and I can hang out with my favorite Tiny Tuckies when their moms and dads are in a pinch and need a babysitter in the middle of the day.

Working remotely has allowed me to really get involved in TP life and also embrace Hanover living. Most importantly, our current situation means both my husband and I are fulfilling our dreams simultaneously. I am not just a TP in Hanover because my husband wanted to go to business school. I am a small business owner, a career woman, and a TP.

Looks like admit calls are going to come during the day on Friday with dings and WL coming via email at 5pm est. Hopefully Friday the 13th proves to be lucky instead of unlucky for all of us Tuck applicants. I did my interview on Friday 2/13 so i'm hoping that brings me luck.
