Folks,
I want to share some very good news! Just got off the waitlist (about 30 minutes ago) at Tuck!! I did not receive any phone call. An update was made to my application (got an email), and i opened it guessing that it must be a reject. But voila!!! Admitted to the class of 2018!!! Lost for words right now. Tuck was the only school i applied to and i had already begun making plans for the next year.
No waitlist strategy as such (stayed silent). I got feedback midway through my waitlist telling me there was no specific aspect i should work on and i just acknowledged that. Got another email last week asking if i was interested and i told them Tuck was my dream so hell yeah!!
