It’s Official..

Dear gltnforpnshmnt:

The MBA Admissions Board appreciates your interest in our MBA Program and the considerable effort evident in your application. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you a place in the MBA Class of 2010.

The MBA Admissions Board carefully and thoughtfully assesses each application. Because of the large number of applications we receive, we are unable to admit many candidates who have excellent credentials and who demonstrate strong promise for careers in management.

Thank you for considering our MBA Program, and please accept our best wishes for future success.

Sincerely,

Deirdre C. Leopold

Managing Director, MBA Admissions & Financial Aid

Dear gltn:

The Admissions Committee has completed its review of your application for the Two-Year Program at the Kellogg School of Management. Despite your many merits as a candidate, I regret to inform you that we are not able to offer you a place in the entering class.

The Admissions Committee carefully evaluated your application in the following areas: work experience, career plans, academic ability and performance, extracurricular and community involvement, leadership and interpersonal skills. Decisions are based upon a thorough evaluation of your individual strengths and weaknesses, as well as your qualifications relative to all others in our applicant pool. This decision is not a reflection of your personal qualities and achievements or your potential for success in management, but merely a reflection of the limited number of places in the class.

We certainly wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors, and thank you for your interest in the Two-Year Program at the Kellogg School of Management .

Sincerely,

Beth Flye
Assistant Dean, Director of Admissions and Financial Aid

Dear gltn: 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 2010.

Of the applications we reviewed this round, the admissions committee felt that your candidacy showed significant potential and merited encouragement. Therefore, if you plan to re-apply next year and would like to receive feedback on ways in which you could strengthen a future application to Tuck, a member of the admissions committee would be happy to provide you with a coaching session between April and July of 2008. Tuck pro-actively offers feedback to less than 10% of applicants, so our encouragement is sincere. To schedule a feedback session, please email your request to tuck.admissions@dartmouth.edu.

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 factors that most often contributed to our decision to not admit an applicant were 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,

School Name

Dawna M. Clarke
Director of Admissions
Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth

I’M A WOLVERINE!!!!!!!

    Do not be discouraged! Persistence is the key to success. I did enjoy reading the various ways they handled your “rejection” though. See… not a single person said “sorry, you’re just not good enough”! In effect, they all said “it’s not you; it’s us”.

    A lot of things in life are just timing. It’s entirely possible the same application sent in a different year would be accepted.

    I’d take Dawna up on her “feedback” offer. Feedback is the “breakfast of champions!” and free feedback is even better.

    Cheers! (and best of luck to you)

    The positive side is that you don’t need to “make a decision”. ;) Ross is a great school and I think you’ll definitely enjoy yourself.

    Everything happens for a reason! Ross was clearly meant to be for you. Although, you are now my sworn enemy (when it comes to football at least). My undergrad school and Michigan are rivals :)

    Hi,
    Congrats on getting into one of the op 10 B schools. Gr8test thing abou Ross I guess is its faculty I guess, they way they not only keep themselves updates and define/predict future industry paradigmns. Take the case of Prog C K Prahalad for example, all his books have been path breaking.
    I plan to apply to Ross this fall. Might pester you a bit for help. Is it possible that you share your email id so I can send you my queries in future.
