Dartmouth Tuck is a community-driven MBA program that thrives on intimacy, collaboration, and purpose-driven leadership. Tuck seeks students who will contribute meaningfully to a close-knit culture, embrace the program’s emphasis on teamwork, and lead with both competence and character.
The Tuck application may appear straightforward — clear essay prompts, a goals statement, and a traditional interview process. However, its challenge lies in proving self-awareness, sincerity, and alignment with the program’s values. Tuck’s admissions committee is looking for future leaders who can combine excellence with humility, impact, and contribution.
On Saturday, August 28th at 10:00 AM ET, join Susan Berishaj, Founder of Sia Admissions, for an elite strategy session designed to help you craft a Tuck MBA application that is authentic, memorable, and strategically aligned with the program’s culture.
We’ll cover:
Tuck’s Admissions Philosophy — Smart, Accomplished, Aware, and Nice: Tuck looks for candidates who are self-reflective, generous with their leadership, and equipped to contribute to a deeply collaborative community. We’ll decode how the adcom interprets these qualities and how to authentically signal them throughout your application.
Mastering the Tuck Essays with Authenticity and Impact: Tuck’s essays reward applicants who balance professional achievement with personal depth. We’ll explore how to avoid generic responses, illustrate self-awareness, and convey a genuine understanding of how you will contribute to and benefit from the Tuck community.
Framing Career Goals and Contribution: Tuck expects clarity in your career direction, but also wants to see how your goals align with the resources and network of a small, tight-knit program. We’ll discuss how to frame your short- and long-term goals while also signaling that you’ll add value to the Tuck ecosystem.
Communicating Cultural Fit in Essays and Interviews: Tuck interviews are famously conversational, and fit is a major factor in admission. We’ll cover how to communicate cultural alignment without sounding scripted, showing both confidence and approachability.
