Tuck-Ding.

December 15, 2006

Dear GT,
Thank you for applying to the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. After much thought and careful consideration, I regret to inform you that we are unable to grant your request for admission to the Tuck Class of 2009.

It is often difficult to fully appreciate the competition for admission to Tuck. Our decision is not a reflection on your intellectual abilities, personal achievements or potential success in management. The factor that most often contributed to our decision to not admit an applicant was the rigorous competition created by a strong applicant pool and our commitment to maintain a small class size. This year’s pool is exceptionally strong. We know that many of the applicants who were not granted admission possess excellent characteristics that will serve them well in business school and beyond.

I sincerely appreciate your interest in Tuck and all the time and thought that went into your application. You have my genuine best wishes for success in achieving your future goals.

Warmest regards,

Dawna Clarke

Director of Admissions
Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth

...and thats the way it is.

Sorry to hear that dude....but the process has become such a crapshoot that I know several very talented people who did not get in on the first try...

Good luck for the rest of them...

Inblue said...

At least US b-schools do provide a reason like this for your rejection, which is good.. Good luck for the remaining ones :)

Inblue said...

What's up ? Hibernating ?

Inblue said...

I mean seriously , do we have some thing interesting on the WL ?

Inblue said...

nothing more in the pipe line. 3 schools, 1 admit, 2 dings. Period. Its Chicago now. I know a couple of ppl on Chicago. I think they put a lot of people on R1 waitlist and you should hope best for the R2 result in march. I am rooting for you.:)

Alex said...

Dropped in to say 'Hello'.

Hows you?

J. Alfred Prufrock said...

SO back to "If". I have a feeling you'll hit the gong next year. If not this year itself.

Best of luck.
