Hi Stacy,
I have 700 on GMAT with a 3.8 GPA. I have 2 years of work experience and I am applying to MBA/MPP dual degree at Tuck/Harvard.
I am having bit of an issue with one of the essays for Tuck -What is the greatest challenge or hurdle you have overcome, either personally or professionally, and how did you manage to do so?
I do have a tentative idea in mind but I am not sure if it will be considered too old. I was a valedictorian in my high school back home but was rejected by all the schools but one when I applied to the US for my undergradudate degree. This was very depressing and required me to analyze where my application strategy went work. However, with the rejections behind me, I joined my school in the US and within a year I was awarded the prestigious Presidential Scholarship ( only international student to receive it yet
). Instead of sulking over my "not so great" application experience I made the best out of the situation and learned a lot about my own determination and resilience in the process... So my question is - would this be too old of a challenge that I have overcome?
I would really appreciate your help!
Thanks,
plohani
