"A few words ..." is a series that allows Tuck faculty to talk about their area of research and current work. As I take a break for the next few days for Thanksgiving, here are a few words from Prof. Vijay Govindarajan, VG as we call him, on the things that he finds exciting. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

What does a typical day of a Tuck student look like? First there are 280 different typical days every day and none of them are identical. Everyone has something different going on and everyone is doing things together. Just to give a taste of what we're talking about, here's a first year student sharing her routine on that given day.

Hi, Has the interview invitations been rolled out for second round applicants?(4th nov, 2015)
Countless applicants have asked me about how Tuck can help them with their plans to be involved in the social sector post-MBA, and I've given each of them input on how the Center for Business and Society (CBS) at Tuck is at the forefront of everything that has to do with the social sector/non-profits/social consulting/social enterprise. Here's a current student describing her experience when she went to Seattle as part of the delegation from Tuck to attend the Net Impact Conference (be sure to click on the NIC link to read about the impressions of the five delegates!).

The Admissions decisions for Early Action round were released at 5 PM ET on Thursday, Dec 17th. Congratulations to all the admitted students. But I do want to take the opportunity to speak to everyone who did not achieve the desired outcome. Each of you have put in a lot of hard work to do your research and submit the best application you could. You may be wondering where you may have fallen short, and wondering what could have made the difference in your application.
Take heart that Tuck Admissions Committee went through each application at least twice before reaching the decision it did. And no decision is taken lightly. In fact, copious amounts of information has been compiled about each application. And you know what? It's the one Admissions Committee that cares about applicants, whether they were admitted or not.
We take the time to give detailed feedback to every applicant that asks for it, and it's really pointed feedback that will be given during a phone call scheduled directly with a member of the Admissions Committee. Only, you need to be patient with us since we are not equipped to give you feedback during the admissions cycle, so these calls are almost always scheduled in the summer - May/June time frame.
So, if you want to get that feedback, feel free to seek it by writing to Tuck Admissions and you will get one. Know that we care about you and we don't take any decision lightly. Sending you best wishes for all your future endeavors.
The Career Development Office at Tuck is known for its ultra-personalized efforts in helping Tuckies reach their career destinations. Here's a primer on the CDO from the people who make CDO happen!
I have been receiving emails from a few EA round applicants who have been wait listed asking for input on how they can continue to enhance their candidacy at Tuck. Here's a note from Tuck Admissions on this very topic.

Starting with the Class of 2017, global mindset is a pre-requisite for graduating from Tuck. TuckGO is the formal program under which Tuck students pursue any of these overseas opportunities while completing their MBAs. One such opportunity is the OnSite Global Consulting. A team of Tuckies recently spent three weeks on the ground in Kenya as part of an OnSite project. Here are their experiences, as seen through the eyes of an Indian student who was part of the Tuck group in Kenya.

Just want to highlight @Tuck.Dartmouth's relentless help provided on this thread. Tuck is an awesome school and comes in Top 10 in US. This college is a heaven for consulting opportunities. If anybody is looking for GMAT and US schools, he or she should definitely apply to Tuck. If anybody is looking for Tuck, I will encourage he or she to talk to Suds. He has some awesome insights and has provided very good guidance for aspirants.
Do capitalize the opportunity
Once in a while, I do post something that's not admissions oriented and those posts have to do with getting to know some of the faculty members at Tuck. This is one such post - conversation with Prof. Eesha Sharma, who is constantly "in search of Why."
