Are candidates admitted in Round 3? If so, are scholarships available in Round 3?
These are very popular questions at this time of year in Admissions. The fourth quarter of the year flew by for me, and you may have experienced the same. Work took over, the days literally got shorter, the December holidays gained momentum, and as soon as you found a moment to exhale and usher in 2025, the Round 2 deadline snuck past you. Don’t look back; look ahead to the next opportunity.
The Round 3 application deadline is March 26, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. ET. Round 3 is a real opportunity to be admitted to Tuck and launch into your MBA studies in August 2025, without waiting another year. You may have already drafted an essay or two, lined up your references, and planned to hit submit for the Round 2 deadline. Or maybe you’ve started your research on Tuck more recently. Either way, I encourage you to continue these efforts with confidence and revise your MBA application checklist with a target application date of March 26.
Throughout all three of our application rounds we are inviting candidates to interview, making offers of admission, and awarding scholarships. And the average scholarship award for an admitted student in Round 3 is on par with our overall average scholarship of $32,002 per academic year.
We would love to connect with you and hear about your interest in the Tuck MBA. There are numerous opportunities to engage with the Admissions team and the Tuck community through the March deadline. The admissions team will be on the road throughout February and may be in a city near you. Also, virtual events will continue, and campus visits are available. You can see all opportunities and register to connect here.
Let my Admissions colleagues and I know if you have questions about applying to Tuck—we’re here to help. We look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your path toward the MBA!
