After releasing its deadlines earlier this summer, Dartmouth/Tuck has posted its updated essay questions for this year’s admissions season. The essays are as follows:
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 2
Discuss your most meaningful leadership experience. What did you learn about your own individual strengths and weaknesses through this experience?
Essay 3
What is the greatest challenge or hurdle you have overcome, either personally or professionally, and how did you manage to do so?
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?
Applicants should note that although there is no prescribed restriction on the length of the essays, on average most Tuck applicants use 500 words for each response.
