When recently asked about Dartmouth Tuck’s position on applicants’ use of educational advisors, Dawna Clarke, Director of Admissions, made it clear that Tuck views these advisors as “a wonderful resource for prospective students.” Clarke touted advisors’ skills at asking probing questions and serving as a sounding board to provide advice on program fit, challenge applicants to reflect on their background and skills, and help identify what to maximize in the application and interview process. Clarke emphasized that applicants should only use educational advisors who offer these appropriate services and cautioned against using advisors to actually write essays for applicants (Note: mbaMission of course falls in the first category of appropriate use). Tuck is so favorable on educational advisors that it has held conferences in previous years to help familiarize these consultants with Tuck’s MBA program.
