Required Materials
Applicants must complete the Tuck application form, except for those who apply via the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management. The application must include a copy of transcripts from each undergraduate or graduate institution attended, (official transcripts must be sent directly to Tuck within 30 days of enrollment), GMAT or GRE test scores (waivers available), resume, responses to essay questions, two letters of recommendation from direct supervisors, and a $250 non-refundable fee.
For non-native English speakers, submit scores for either the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), the PTE (Pearson Test of English Academic), or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) to demonstrate English language proficiency.
How are Interviews Scheduled?
All interviews will be committee-initiated. If invited to interview, applicants will receive a link to select a day and time for a virtual interview. Round 1 and Round 2 applicants can guarantee receiving an invitation to interview by submitting their applications by September 1 and December 1, respectively.
Invitations to interview are released on a rolling basis. While the school aims to send most invitations early in the application cycle, it is possible to receive an invitation to interview in the days prior to the decision notification date. The timing of your interview invitation does not reflect the committee’s level of interest in your application.
