Tuck School of Business 2015-2016 MBA Essay Topics

by Stacy Blackman Consulting, Jun 20, 2015

The Tuck 360: MBA Blog provided a preview of the updated MBA essay questions that will be a part of the Fall 2016 application to Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business. While there are no major thematic changes over last year's essay prompts, do pay close attention to the subtle shifts in nuance in these revised questions.

Essays

1. What are your short- and long-term goals? Why do you need an MBA to achieve those goals? Why are you interested in Tuck specifically?

2. Tell us about your most meaningful leadership experience and what role you played. How will that experience contribute to the learning environment at Tuck?

3. (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.

4. (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 Tuck admissions team encourages applicants to respond fully but concisely to these essay questions, and to limit the length of their responses to 500 words for each essay. The Dartmouth Tuck application will go live later this summer.
