 Essay Questions

"The essay questions provide you with an opportunity to help the admissions committee gain greater insight about you as a potential member of the Tuck community. We do not allow substitution or replacement of essay responses after an application has been submitted. Please be clear, succinct, forthright, and thoughtful in your responses. Additionally, we ask that you share what you truly feel, as opposed to writing what you think the admissions committee would like to read. There are no right or wrong answers. Reapplicants should also complete the reapplicant essay."

Please respond fully but concisely to the following essay questions. Compose each of your answers offline in separate document files and upload them individually in the appropriate spaces below. Although there is no restriction on the length of your response, most applicants use, on average, 500 words for each essay. Please double-space your responses.

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.)

2. Tuck defines leadership as “inspiring others to strive and enabling them to accomplish great things.” We believe great things and great leadership can be accomplished in pursuit of business and societal goals. Describe a time when you exercised such leadership. Discuss the challenges you faced and the results you achieved. What characteristics helped you to be effective, and what areas do you feel you need to develop in order to be a better leader?

3. Discuss the most difficult constructive criticism or feedback you have received. How did you address it? What have you learned from it?

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?

5. (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.

6. (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.

 Recommendation

Confidential Statement of Qualification Form

We require that you submit two CSQ forms. The forms should be given to two people who can comment on your professional leadership and intellectual capabilities. We have found that the most useful evaluations are from people who can speak with certainty about your leadership, maturity, team orientation, analytical skills, and interpersonal skills. If you are currently employed, we prefer to receive a CSQ from your direct supervisor or someone who knows you well and is in a position to judge your professional performance and leadership. If you are unable to provide a CSQ from a direct supervisor, please explain why in the optional essay section. If you are a college senior, submit one CSQ from a professor and one CSQ from a summer or former employer or someone who knows you through a leadership role. Generally, unless you are a college senior, we do not find CSQs from professors to be helpful in our evaluations.

Please contact your evaluators well in advance to give them sufficient time to write and return their evaluations by the application deadline. Given the importance we place on CSQs, we do not review any application until we have received the forms from both evaluators listed on your application. If your CSQs are received after the deadline for submission, your application will not be considered until the next round. It is your responsibility to make sure that your recommenders are aware of the deadlines and to ensure both CSQs have been submitted. If you would like to make changes to the evaluators you listed, please notify the admissions office in writing.

We encourage you to use the online CSQ form, which allows us to review your file more rapidly. If you must use a printed version, you may download a copy from this website. Please make sure your evaluators use your full name on the form. Any supplemental information should be written on institutional letterhead with the evaluator's title, address, telephone number, and email address (if applicable) clearly indicated. Tuck reserves the right to contact recommenders.

Each downloaded and printed form should be returned to: Admissions-CSQ, Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, 100 Tuck Hall, Hanover, NH 03755-9000, USA.

1. How long have you known the applicant and in what context? Have you served as the applicant’s supervisor? If so, please provide approximate dates. Please comment upon the frequency and nature of your interactions with the applicant.

2. What are the applicant’s three principal strengths? Please provide an example of each.

3. In which three areas can the applicant improve? Please provide an example of each. How has the applicant worked to address these areas?
