Hi All,
We have been receiving lots of questions about when the new application will go live. We are waiting on a few last minute changes and then it will be up and running soon. I would guess we will be ready to go in the next week or two.
In the meantime, if you want to get started on your essays, here are the questions for the 2010-11 application:
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.)
2. Discuss your most meaningful leadership experience. What did you learn about your own individual strengths and weaknesses through this experience?
3. What is the greatest challenge or hurdle you have overcome, either personally or professionally, and how did you manage to do so?
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?
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.
6. (To be completed by all reapplicants) How have you strengthened your candidacy since you last applied? Please reflect on how you have grown personally and professionally.
The suggested length for essays is 500 words each. While this is not a hard and fast rule, please do try to keep it close to that. If you find yourself going significantly over the word limit, you should ask yourself if you are saying what you want to say as convincingly and concisely as you can. Also, please double space your responses.
Enjoy the rest of your summer, and we look forward to receiving your applications!
