I received my Tuck interview invite! Yippee!!!
Dear Oops,
The Admissions Committee has received your application and would like to offer you the opportunity to interview with us.
A Tuck Admissions Associate (second year student interviewer) will be in touch via email to schedule a time for a phone interview. If you have not been contacted within a week please contact admissions.
Please note that all interviews are weighted equally, whether conducted in person, via phone, by admissions staff, student interviewers, or alumni.If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Cameron Steese at Cameron.Steese@tuck.dartmouth.edu.
Regards,
Tuck Admissions
Though they sent it on 5th(EST), I did not see the mail from Tuck till just now, as it had gone to my Junk folder (gmail is effective, a bit too much) – and had to do some scavenging! That when Chaos discussed his invite came through email. Hey Guys, you should just change the status on the AY site, it would be easier for us.
Anyways, now I’m waiting for a mail from a 2nd year student who would fix up a suitable time to conduct a telephonic interview. Good - I was under the impression that Tuck has some kinda full-time admissions representative in Delhi and I would have to travel. Considering how travel-phobic I am, further increased by my consulting travel, I was really dreading this. But telephonic interviews are cool, you can keep your essays in front of you
What I still dont know is:
1. Are the interviews blind, or will they have my application? (assumption: latter)2. Will they ask general ‘Why MBA/Tuck/career goal’ questions, or more on the ‘give me an example when you…’ types (assumption: both, focus on former)3. What are the admit rates for people invited to the IV? (no clue yet)Also, I haven’t seen any Tuck interview invites on the applicant blogosphere, except Chaos, so maybe ppl havent checked their junk folder yet
Congrats oops!!! Go get em!!!
Congratulations!
from reading the interview feedback db on accepted.com and clearadmit, it looks like they are resume-based. But I think you might be correct in assuming that they will interview you based on your application also…
Congrats on the interview!! Very exciting! Any good tips for interview preparation? I’ve had two interviews and still don’t think I have the preparation down.
Happy Friday!
Congrats for the invite, dude!
hey congrats oops for the intvw invite!!
I m still waiting for listeningy from Darden. What about you?? I didnt hear of any indians getting darden intvw invites till now…
Hey! Damn cool..congrats for the IV invite..Good luck!
Thanks for the kind words
Thanks for the comments. Congrads on get Tuck interview.
I’m all new to this. After reading a lot of blogs, I’m glad that I started early (not seem so early now) Best of the luck to you!
The on campus interviews are blind, there for I imagine the only thing they give the 2nd year student is the resume you submitted with your application. This would make sense to keep all the interview settings the “same”
Hey congratulations on the Tuck call. So two of us are there now.
). By the way have you so far got the mail from Tuck scheduling the interveiw. I am yet to get it.
(. they asked me to wait a week before contacting them. the week gets over today. so ill drop in a mail after a short while.
I just hope the mail did not land up in junk. I did do a thorough check some time back. Do let me know if you get the email.
And yeah as for my preps, i am going through accepted.com, clearadmit.com, preparing some standard questions plus will have some mock interveiws with some freinds.
All the best to you.
Hi Oops! Found your blog when I googled for telephonic interviews. I just got invited for a phone interview with Darden.
How was your interview with Tuck? Let me know if you have any tips for me. I was wondering whether I should request a alumn interview instead. Your insights may help me decide.
Thanks already!!
