请问俺tuck alumni interview完了后需不需要和tuck安排面试的coordinator写个email告诉他俺面完了呢,貌似没有这种要求?......booth要求约好了面试日期要confirm的......所以弱问一下.谢谢!

I personally think you don't need to do that. But it would do you no hard if you send the coordinator an email. It's up to you.

Check with the admission's office if you can't find it on the web.

谢谢Tuck2012. 想问一下跟其他几个Top相比，Tuck的学业算重么？
另外很关心Tuck在亚洲的校友力量情况，特别是在VC/PE和Hi-Tech领域。非常感谢

Yeah, Tuck has a  study load comparable to Wharton, though it seems we are a little better than Darden and Harvard. You have a lot homeworks, presentations, group assignments due every week. Exams at least every 3 weeks.  If that's your criteria, you might want to consider UCLA and Booth.(Sorry if I'm worry, just my impression) But generally speaking no top MBA program is easy.

In terms of number of our alums in Asia, we have a number of alums in HK, some do work in VC/PE. (Numbers not comparable to Wharton, CBS, HBS, Booth, though we often say we have a higher quality alum group...) Not many alums in high-tech I've heard of, since this is not area I'm following. Actually we don't even have many Chinese alums and most of the people prefer staying in the States in earlier days.  Yet Tuck is indeed serious about increasing our presence in Asia.

Is career progression a must-to-have when apply Tuck? I consulted with MBA colleagues, they advised it would be a huge plus if career progression has been made as it demonstrated potentials, capabilities and leaderships. But for my case, i am in 2-year long program in IB and will rotate 2 role before assigning to permanent placement, which is different from the previous two. But job rotations give me wider understanding about the business and enables to to "connect the different lines of business together".      ==> would this be considered to offset the relatively weakness on career progression (analyst => Associate for example).. thanks heaps!!!

Hi Eliott, my question was missed out before. can you share your opinions on this one?

Good question.

Normally, you do want to emphasize your pomotions, because that's an effective way to show that you've done a great job in the past. If not, then you should think about ways to state that you've got increased responsibilities, achievements, recognitions to show that you've worked hard and was excellent compared to your peers. MBA admissions often say "quality" of your work experience, that's what they meant--not just promotions, but your achievements, skills you learnt, how you developed yourself in each of your role, and how you relate to people around you.

I know some MBA friends that are in rotational program like you. They haven't worked for a long time, and yet have pretty good experiences and views in different roles. I would say that's an advantage if you demonstrate that well to bschool. Is that clear?

I'd say that's an advantage if you demonstrate your "achievements" and "take-away" well to bschool in a shorter span than other candidates. Is that clear?
