Tuck’s interview cycle for the class of 2017 begins in just a few short weeks and I highly recommend that you register for your interview as soon as possible. Interviews are available on a first come, first served basis and tend to book up very quickly.
This is an amazing opportunity for you to stand out in your application and to let us know why you think Tuck is the best place for you. Your visit will include your interview, class visit (depending on availability), lunch and tour with students and a Q&A session with an Admissions Officer.
If possible, I highly recommend that you schedule your interview before you submit your application. I have heard so many students say how helpful this was to them during the process because they were able to experience Tuck’s unique environment first-hand and still had time to tweak their essays before clicking the submit button. But if you can’t interview prior to submitting your application don’t worry about it. The interview deadlines are typically a few weeks after the application deadline giving you ample time to complete your interview. Make sure you check out our important dates page for interview deadlines and to make sure that you don’t miss out on this unique opportunity.
Some tips that may be helpful for you:
1. Register for you interview as soon as possible:
Most applicants try to squeeze in the interview within a few weeks of the interview deadline, which means if you wait to book your interview you may find that there are no more spaces available. I tend to receive many panicked emails and phone calls from people who waited too long and missed out on this great opportunity, so make sure that this doesn’t happen to you!
2. Interview midweek:
Mondays and Fridays tend to be our busiest days and usually book to capacity. I know that it can be difficult to arrange time off from work and travel, but you may end up coming on a day that is less crowded and potentially allows for more one-on-one time.
We really want you to enjoy your visit here and hope that you leave campus loving Tuck as much as we do. Ask the students those questions you have been dying to ask. Don’t be shy at the Q&A and ask Pat, Amy or Kristin those difficult application questions that have been racking your brain (also another great reason why it’s nice to interview before submitting the application!).
I hope to see you in Hanover soon!
Cheers,
Gelsey
