A short summary of my Tuck interview

Yesterday I had the interview... 8:00 am! Not my favourite time of the day, but ok, so I didn't had to be nervous the whole day...
Kristine was very nice and able to lessen some of my nervousness. The interview was more a conversation and no question-answer-next question-next answer game. She started to ask since when I am living in Japan and we went on by talking about why I came to Japan, how difficult the language is and if I have problems to work here - espacially as a woman... During the following conversation Kristine asked What are your plans for the future? Why an MBA? Why Tuck? Why now? How would your family describe you? Which personal areas do you want to develop? And then she asked if I have some questions - I had. She answered them very detailed... and the 40 min were over!

I'm not sure how well I did. I misunderstood the last question - I'm sure my answer confused her. And I completely forgot to talk about how important teamwork was and is for me... and hey, isn't teamwork and community everything Tuck is about? However, I can't change it and have to live with my answers ... all I can do now is wait and hope...

BTW, I wrote her a "Thank you!" e-mail and had a very nice reply in my mailbox after only 36 min!
