Calling all Tuck MBA Applicants: 2023 Intake Class of 2025

Thanks for your response! I am applying as someone looking for Strategy Consulting (ST-GOAL) on East Coast preferably Boston area. TUCK remains my top-choice for MBA but I am concerned about my very high Age and Work Experience. And still I am working closely on my Application to TUCK with the intent to submit in R-2. Can you help identify about TUCK MBA being a route to my ultimate dream of LT-Goal i.e., Entrepreneurship in Biotech/Pharma industry?

nawangagrawal5, Tuck is known to be a consulting powerhouse comparable with most M-7 especially when it comes to MBB and it is also a school with a growing number of entrepreneurs specially in the medical or pharmaceutical industry so it sounds like it’s the ideal school for you.

Thanks a ton!

Now when we are talking of Consulting via TUCK, does it help pivot into Healthcare consulting firms beyond Mckinsey, BCG and Bain of the world? As a international, will my "domain expertise" of 15 years be transferrable to TUCK MBA and beyond, since I am looking for a 360 degree pivot from Finance/Controlling to Healthcare via Consulting route?

nawangagrawal5, without knowing much about your specific situation I couldn’t say. What I can say is that consulting is a route that is known to aid in industry transitions. Your expertise is on the high end so the adcom might ask why not go into an executive MBA program rather than a normal one but that you can explain on your application. I would try to look for people that have made a similar transition which I don’t think you would have a problem finding since many people come from finance into the MBA and transition into many different industries including healthcare

Is it true that not many or at least I haven’t come across someone above 34-yrs of Age making it to full-time MBA at TUCK and that too from Non-Military/Defence background, who are generally in their primary role of becoming Veteran after which they come-up with authentic and compelling reasons to apply to US Business schools?

Can you help me find people who have made similar transitions and someone not coming from Military/Army/Air Force/ Navy background but was successful ’admit’ to TUCK?

you have to do this research yourself

or schedule a call with an admission felloe

nawangagrawal5, I think it might be best for you to try to connect with a student ambassador from Tuck. In their website you can find many of them and their backgrounds and they are extremely responsive. I connected with one that then connected me with 5 others so even if they don’t match your description they would be a better resource for that

fellow* or someone on the adcom

nawangagrawal5, I can tell you all of this because I already went through that process and it helped me a lot but I am still waiting for my decision as well so I don’t have deeper insight into the community

So you applied in R-1 to TUCK?

nawangagrawal5, I did

I tried on Linkedin but never found someone with similar transition I am exploring via Tuck ?

have you looked here? https://www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/admissions/ambassadors

Thanks for that link. We all await your decision from TUCK in the coming days. Hopefully, you’d make a cut into the elitest too? Let us know when you receive one.

nawangagrawal5, Thanks! Here’s hoping I get in! and good luck on your journey as well

Would I be able to reach out for follow-up questions? Is there some email I can reach out you, or international phone #?
