Tuck (Dartmouth): Class of 2018 - Calling All Applicants!

I do not think you should worry about it.
As long as you have sent all the required materials, you should be fine.

Moreover, even the ADCOM says: Please don't worry ...
_________________

Thank you.
The only thing that I was concerned about was the description in the instruction that says "Incomplete applications cannot be reviewed and will be pushed to the next deadline"
I'd like to confirm whether my application is complete or not.

I have the exact same message regarding my GMAT scores, which I have indeed sent to Dartmouth. In the "Thank you for applying to Tuck" email I got when submitted my application, there was the following paragraph:

Please monitor your application account for the status of materials received as well as your application status. Please note that the material status will change once we process your application. Until then you may see the notation that materials haven't been received. Once your application has been processed we will notify you that your application is complete or if we need further materials.

I think it's safe to say that if we're seeing the above message regarding missing materials, they just haven't gotten around to verifying our applications yet, so I'm not too worried. That said, my other schools seemed to verify my materials and update me on within a week of submission to let me know I was good to go or that something was missing. Regardless, I'll give it another week or so before I start to worry

Same here about GMAT and TOEFL scores. Not too worried (yet)

Yes not worried, just waiting to hear about off-campus interviews. Anyone have an idea when they start rolling out early action invitations for those who couldn't interview on campus?

Im in Asia. Invites have been out from last friday. I wasnt invited...still have a message of missing material..but so far more than three people in my region did.

Hmm... A little disheartening that interview invitations have gone out before they've even compiled and verified all the applications. Oh well, not much to be done I suppose.

Whoa, when did this happen? Have (all) the interview invites been already sent?

See charko88's post on previous page. They started going out last Friday. Thus could be just for Asia though? Anyone in the test of the world get an invitation yet? I'd imagine there are still plenty more to come, as I don't think Tuck just releases on a few specific days like Harvard, but rather rolls out invitations until December.

I'm in Asia too but haven't received any update. As far as 'Awaiting Materials' message is concerned, it is still showing up in my profile. Strange thing is, I have already received a mail from belinda as below:

"Hi Jitendra,

I'm in receipt of your application for consideration within our Early Action round. Your application is complete and has moved onto a member of the Admissions Committee to be read.

Have a nice day!
Belinda"

Don't know what to think now?

charko88, can you please confirm with those, who have already received interview invitation, whether their profile shows the message still or not?

I got the same email today.

My friend told me he asked admin about it, they told him to wait a week. So i guess we give it a week?
Good luck!

Juggler, when did you submit your application?

Not that I am too hopeful, but I haven't yet got either a ding or an interview invite - by when is this anxiety going to end? Most schools have sent out the first wave of interview invites but all I have got is nothing except for an invite by Kenan Flagler.

I submitted on October 5th.

Woohoo!!! just received interview invite for coming Sunday. Last mail was sent to me on 16th October but for some reason never delivered to me. I just now received confirmation from a traveling adcom member.

Are all interview invites sent out ? or some more expected? Too tensed to think!

Still waiting for updation on my application. It shows awaiting GMAT score on my application status, so I believe its not yet processed. Hoping for some news in the next few days.

That's a mirror image of my application page!

From what has been written before, one generally gets a mail when the school starts to process the application. We should get one soon, hopefully.

FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: What happens to my application after hitting submit?

Okay, so you have put your blood, sweat and tears into preparing the perfect application. You double (no triple) checked it for any mistakes – then you hit the submit button. What happens 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. She 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/GRE, 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. She goes through the same exercise and makes a recommendation whether to admit or deny. So, now we have two evaluations of the application - sometimes they agree, sometimes they don’t – that’s why we have more than one person read each file. Next stop for our file is Dawna's office! Our Director of Admissions Dawna Clarke 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 become quite passionate. Eventually we arrive at a final decision as a group. Final decisions are then communicated to all applicants via their online admissions account on the published notification date. Hopefully, the news is good! Now that we have come to the end of our file’s journey, the important thing to take away is that A LOT of time and attention is given to every single application. One of the things our office is 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 a series of stats. All of the hard work you put into your application is appreciated, and we really do read every essay you write.

jugglerG2 Congrats! and All the Best! ... Did your status change on the application portal?
Also have you received the application completion mail (I think you have received it. Not sure though)
Mine still says Awaiting material. Will that status change after the application completion mail?
