We couldn’t be happier for Stella, a Shanghai-based financial accountant who got into Tuck!<\/h3>\n

It’s been a long journey with her consultant, Ben Koren<\/a>, and after a lot of red ink and hard work, she’s going to her dream school. She’ll be starting Tuck School of Business<\/a> at Dartmouth this fall, but before she heads off to Hanover, we asked her for some advice on how she got into Tuck. <\/p>\n

Take a look!<\/p>\n

Four MBA Applicant Tips from Stella, Future Tuck MBA<\/h3>\n

#1 - Use a Consultant.<\/strong> It’s always helpful to have an extra pair of experienced eyes on your application. When Stella started attending prospective MBA events, she realized that everyone (especially international applicants) uses a consultant at some point in the process. <\/p>\n

#2 - If you do decide to use a consultant, don’t get lazy! <\/strong> You can’t rely on your consultant to do the work for you. If you rush a draft and send your consultant rubbish, you’ll get back better rubbish. But it’s still rubbish! Ultimately, the only person responsible for your application is YOU.<\/p>\n

#3 - You should take EVERY advantage you can get, especially as an international student <\/strong> Stella set herself apart from the competition by showing up for Tuck’s open interview. The organizer of the event even expressed how impressed she was that Stella arranged a trip all the way from Shanghai to Hanover so that she could have the chance to interview.<\/p>\n

#4 - Read the essay analyses<\/a>. <\/strong> They can help you find your starting point and structure your essay… plus they’re free and they’re funny \":)\" <\/p>\n
