Tuck Essay 4

[daffy]

Dear All,

Can you tell me how to go about answering TUCK's 4th essay

Tuck seeks candidates of various backgrounds who can bring new perspective to our community. How will your unique personal history values or life experiences contribute to the culture at Tuck

Divide your life in a 2D array : personal and professional

Write your identity in terms you have been part of...a photographer, a c coder, a champion driver, part of the numismatics socitey

Discover tuck from all scales, views, history, visit, clubs ...write them down.

Map them. Be creative. Seem unique but caveat is that your life history must not look disconnected with the overall application. They are asking for a pleasant surprise.


Positive impact to the classroom, a unique students unique perspective, a well read researched applicant are the keywords. I believe energy is what should be coming strongly.

Best of Luck

Well a good way to approach this question is backwards!
What mean is forget the question for a second, and think to yourself: What are my best stories? Where am I the most passionate, interesting, successful? Which of my stories will show the most dedicated candidate? which will show the most diverse. Once you have the 2-4 stories you can fit in the essay, then you focus them towards the question
