Just had a 10 min phone converstion with Tuck AdCom. The results are quite interesting, to me at least. They said that my acad stats, work ex etc were strong and that a lack of community involvement that I was fretting about was not such a big deal, but that they had two specific comments on my essays:
1) I was not very clear about why I want to go into management consulting after MBA;
2) I did not show well enough why I wanted to attend particularily their school.
I was actually quite surprised that I failed to answer the Why Tuck? question, but, oh well, I will do better next year (read: less shy to show my love for Tuck).
As for the first comment - yeah, they are right... And I am guilty of making the same mistake in the rest of my apps
Wish the feedback came a week earlier, when I was still composing my GSB waitlist update.
So, it was essays after all...
At least they will be happy to see me among the re-applicants next year.

Its good to hear that lack of community involvement isn't a huge hit. Thats the big whole in my file. I kinda figured schools wouldn't hold that against people too much though since a lot of people work 60+ hours a week and don't have a whole lot of freetime.
The best advice I have had for approaching the why you want to attend a particular school over another essay was to do at least one or two tours of the school. Sit in on classes, talk to students, professors and anyone in the admin that you can get a hold of, spend an evening in the area...take notes on things you did, people you talked to, and classes ou sat in on. Use that as the basis for your essay, it shows you put a lot more into figuring out if its a good fit for you than looking at ranks, gmat scores, graduating salaries and company placements.
