Hi team, thank you for what you are doing. I'd appreciate if you could give your thoughts on my situation.
I have applied to Tuck in January round for the Class of 2020 and been waitlisted in March. Yesterday (on May 11) the school has accepted some from the waitlist, rejected others, and kept the rest on the waitlist. I am kept in the game.
I think my weakness in the application process prior to being waitlisted has been my interview. I was too anxious and answered some questions with too many words, sometimes almost getting lost in my responses. Assuming that the interview was in fact the issue and all other components of the original application weren't problematic, what can you advise I could do while I'm in the waitlist to boost my chances?
I know that if one has quant skills being the weaker area, he or she can complete a quant course and send the results to adcoms. I want to do something that can similarly show my proactiveness and willingness to improve, but by addressing my issue.
Do you think it would be appropriate to also complete some kind of public-speech-giving course for example (like "Speaking to inform: Discussing complex ideas with clear explanations and dynamic slides" provided on Coursera). Or are there better ways to address my perceived weakness?
For the record, I already submitted a supplementary essay with recent updates in my professional life, new responsibilities, and further reasons of why I believe I'm a perfect fit with the school. So I thought for the next time I could update the school with something different.
Thanks in advance!
