Hi-
Quick background, I was dinged from HBS, GSB and Columbia (ED) in round 1. I have applied to Tuck in round 2 and got their guaranteed interview done last week, and am thinking of applying to Wharton, UVA, and one more school here in round 2.
Do you mind giving me a quick profile review, specifically for Tuck and maybe a rec on another school you'd think I would have a good shot at?
Please note I let Tuck know that it is my first choice and if accepted I will attend.
Undergrad: Top Liberal arts
GPA: 3.44 (Major English)
GMAT: 710, Q47 V40 (took 4 times... realize higher better, but this is what ive got, curious if I can get into tuck with this...)
Career: 4.5yrs years in trading division of Goldman Sachs. Have been promoted and worked in multiple asset classes.
Startup: Co-Founder of startup, not live yet but have 25+ beta users, with live website/product is useable, this is meaningfully stressed in resume as I am trying to go the entrepreneurial route for an MBA program.
Other Extracurriculars: Board member of non profit, current sports team coach, involved in athletics in college, and held leadership positions in college.
Recs: My former boss and founder of non profit (my view is they are strong)
Essays: I write well, and put time into them and think I delivered on Tuck's given their strong guidance...

Jonathan8257:
As you know, the three schools you applied to are amongst the hardest to get into so it's not a surprise that even with your profile you would be dinged. You might face the same issues with Wharton given that it tends to get lumped in with the others in that category.
Darden (UVA) and Tuck are more in your wheelhouse. A 710 on the GMAT should not nearly be an issue for these schools. The thing with Tuck is that you need to show genuine interest in the program. Given their size, they are all about fit. The essay prompts reflect that desire in candidates. Profile-wise, you should be fine. It'll come down to the essays and the connection you build with the school.
If you're interested in us taking a look at those Tuck essays, please reach out. We offer all sorts of services (gut check, hourly support, full essay packages) if you think that could be of help to you as you prepare to submit for R2.
