Tuck Dartmouth
Essay 1: Why is an MBA a critical
next step toward your short- and long-term
career goals? Why is Tuck the best
MBA program for you? (If you are applying
for a joint or dual degree, please
explain how the additional degree
will contribute to those goals.)
Essay Tips: You can break this one in two vital parts; ‘why MBA?’ and ‘why Tuck?’ In the ‘why MBA’ part you have to take the additional responsibility of including your short-term and long-term goals as well. Although there is no restriction on word limit, yet if you settle for a standard of around 500 words for each essay then for this one it should around 250 for each part.
Keeping that in mind the ‘why MBA’ part should be more concise and focused. You can briefly mention an overview of your career if needed, but most importantly relate your short-term goals and long-term goals with your decision to pursue MBA. State specifically which sections of a MBA course will contribute in your voyage towards achieving goals.
As for the ‘why Tuck’ part, you can adopt a more elaborating writing style. This is good place to share personal experiences like visit to campus, interactions with students, your online and offline researches, etc. As the committee wants to know why this is the best MBA program for you, it will better for you to mention some unique features of Tuck and discuss how those will add to your development.
Tuck Dartmouth Essay 2: Discuss your most meaningful leadership experience. What did you learn about your own individual strengths and weaknesses through this experience?
Tuck Dartmouth Essay 3: Describe a circumstance in your life in which you faced adversity, failure, or setback. What actions did you take as a result and what did you learn from this experience?
Tuck Dartmouth Essay 4: Tuck
seeks candidates of various backgrounds
who can bring new perspectives to
our community. How will your unique
personal history, values, and/or life
experiences contribute to the culture
at Tuck?
Essay Tips: Tell the adcom about some of your specialties apart from academic and professional excellence. Tuck is not only a school; it’s a culture. Firstly, you have to prove that you are well aware of its values, principles, culture and community. You surely need to do adequate research on the topic before answering this. Giving examples from your real experiences about Tuck will not be a bad idea, but be aware of repetition, as you have already faced a similar situation in Essay-1. Having done that, you have to speak about your uniqueness. You may have special skills or uncommon background or anything that will give the committee a reason to prefer you out of the mass. This essay is your chance to share that.
Tuck Dartmouth Essay 5 (Optional): Please provide any additional insight
or information that you have not addressed
elsewhere that may be helpful in reviewing
your application (e.g., unusual choice
of evaluators, weaknesses in academic
performance, unexplained job gaps
or changes, etc.). Complete this question
only if you feel your candidacy is
not fully represented by this application.
Essay Tips: This essay is a great opportunity for those who have some weakness in their application. The committee has clearly mentioned that any significant limitation of a candidate needs explanation through this essay. So, if you have one then this optional essay is more like a mandatory for you. Besides, if you think that some aspect of your character still needs focus to familiarize your complete persona to the admission committee, then again this essay gives you a fair chance to do that. On the whole, most of the candidates will find a reason to attempt this one.
Tuck Dartmouth Essay 6 (Reapplicants
only): How have you strengthened
your candidacy since you last applied?
Please reflect on how you have grown
personally and professionally.
Essay Tips: This is the typical reapplicant essay and is a great chance for re-applicants to show that they have worked out on their previous mistakes. List the changes that have strengthened your profile. Stress on strategies you followed and the actions you tooks to imporve your candidature e.g. you shifted your domain from software development to business development or pre-sales or you started an onlien venture which helped you acquire new skills. While discussing about your improvements, stress on both your personal and professional growth.
