Thank you so much for taking up our admission queries.
I am applying in the November round. However, I am in international application and will not be able to travel during this time. I *may* be able to travel in January. So wanted to know if I should postpone my application to a round where I may be able to travel or submit it now with the disadvantage of not being able to interview on campus?
"At Tuck, we believe that strong interpersonal skills are essential for success as a leader and a team member. Accordingly, admissions interviews play a critical role in the evaluation process and give us a more complete understanding of you as a candidate. Although visits are not a required component of the application, we strongly recommend that all applicants (including reapplicants and international applicants) schedule an interview on campus."
The last line has me confused. And the travel in January is also tentative. I work as a design consultant and usually my travel plans are not in my control all the time.
Would appreciate any help/advice on this matter.
Hey Suds,
Thanks for the informative thread. What are the best ways to reach out to Tuckies?
Also stumbled across this post on P&Q, really insightful, wanted to share it with others.

The quality of conversations that happen at Tuck are at a completely different level. Empathy is everywhere, the chats are as intellectual as they are philosophical, Here's case in point - when a celebrated investigative reporter visited Tuck recently.

For Tuckies, Hanover is the base camp to the world - conversations at Tuck include latest initiatives by global businesses and governments alike and what that means to the population at large. Case in point, this insightful article that's co-authored by Dean Matt Slaughter regarding the Aadhaar card and how its success can impact developing countries around the world.
Tuck student ambassadors are very approachable and available to answer questions from prospective applicants about any topic in general. There are ambassadors for pretty much all countries represented in a given class. Here's a Tuck Ambassador sharing his thoughts regarding the school.

Those researching Tuck have no doubt heard about the Silicon Valley trek to introduce students to opportunities in tech companies before school begins. Or the consulting trek that takes students interested in consulting as a career to visit consulting companies in NY and Boston and other cities barely after the school begins. These are not the only treks that take place though. There are VC treks, entrepreneurship treks and so on. Here's vignettes of one such trek from a current student.

I've heard a number of questions from applicants over the past few months regarding the opportunity to engage with the other schools in Dartmouth College, taking courses, etc. Here's a bit more light on this topic from Tuck Admissions.

The discussions at Tuck are always top-of-the-mind in terms of relevance and current in terms of content. Here's a second year student's take on a recent discussion with Senator Judd Gregg regarding federal debt in America.
Tuck Partners are an integral part of the Tuck community and they are ubiquitous in all activities at Tuck. It's not a surprise therefore that Governor John Lynch conducted a case workshop specifically for partners. Here's the experience as described by a TP'18.
