Tuck已经接受在线申请了。

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 between 250 and 500 words for each essay. There are no right or wrong answers. Please double-space your response.

Essay 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.)

Essay 2: Tuck defines leadership as “inspiring others to strive and enabling them to accomplish great things.” 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?

Essay 3: Many highly effective leaders have noted that they learned more about leadership in times of crisis than in times of success. Discuss a significant nonacademic failure that you have experienced. What did you do that contributed to the creation of the problems you faced? How did you handle the situation, and what have you learned from it?

Essay 4: What do you most want others to know about you as a person? How do you hope that aspect of who you are will contribute to the Tuck community?

Essay 5 - Optional: Please provide any additional insight or information that you have not addressed elsewhere that may be helpful in reviewing your application. Complete this question only if you feel your candidacy is not fully represented by this application.

Essay 6 - Reapplicant Essay

(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

Essays of Stanford
We read the essays to get to know you as a person and to learn about the ideas and interests that motivate you. Because we want to discover who you actually are, resist the urge to "package" yourself in order to come across in a way you think Stanford wants. Such attempts simply blur our understanding of who you are and what you can accomplish.

Essays A & B
You must complete two personal essays.

Essay A: What matters most to you, and why?
Essay B: How do you plan to achieve your learning objectives at Stanford? How do you see your career developing?
In other parts of the application, we learn about your academic and professional accomplishments (i.e., what you have done). It is through your personal essays that we learn more about the person behind the achievements (i.e., who you are). This is the time to think carefully about what matters most to you: your values, your passions, your hopes and dreams.

We want to hear your genuine voice throughout the two essays that you write. Truly, the most impressive essays are those that do not begin with the goal of impressing us. Begin work on these essays early, and feel free to ask your friends and family members to provide constructive feedback. When you ask for feedback, ask if the essay’s tone sounds like your voice. It should. Your family and friends know you better than anyone else. If they do not believe that your essays capture who you are, how you live, what you believe, and what you aspire to do, then surely the Committee on Admissions will be unable to recognize what is most distinctive about you.

However, there is a big difference between "feedback" and "coaching." There are few hard and fast rules, but you cross a line when a piece of the application ceases to be exclusively yours in either thought or word (excluding the letter of reference, which should be exclusively the recommender’s in thought and word).

Appropriate feedback occurs when you show someone your completed application, perhaps one or two times, and are apprised of errors or omissions. In contrast, inappropriate coaching occurs when either your essays or your entire self-presentation is colored by someone else. You best serve your own interests when your personal thoughts, individual voice, and unique style remain intact at the end of your editing process.

Additional Information

If there is any other information that is critical for us to know and is not captured elsewhere, please include it in this section of your application. Please do not include additional essays.
Use this section if any of the required essays exceeds 10 pages and cannot be uploaded completely in the appropriate section of the Online Application Form. Upload the remaining pages to this section.
Examples of pertinent additional information include (10 page limit):
Extenuating circumstances affecting academic or work performance.
Explanation as to why you do not have a Letter of Reference from your current direct supervisor.
Explanation of criminal conviction, academic suspension or expulsion, and/or failing grades.
Any other information that you did not have sufficient space to complete in another section of the application. Please begin the information in the appropriate section.
Additional work experience that cannot fit into the space provided.
Required Format for All Essays
Double-space your work and make sure that it is easy to read. We suggest at least a 10-point font.
Number all pages.
The length of your responses is up to you. You should feel free to take the space you need to answer the questions fully.
Most applicants find that three to seven pages each for Essays A and B is appropriate. If your essays are longer than 10 pages each, you may upload the remainder into the Additional Information section.
After you upload your documents to the Web application, please preview each document to ensure that the formatting is true to the original.
We suggest that you save a copy of your essays.
We expect that the work contained in your application essays is exclusively your own. It is a violation of the spirit of the Fundamental Standard and Honor Code to have essays written by someone other than yourself for your Stanford MBA Program application. Such an act will result in denial of your application or withdrawal of your offer of admission.
Activities
You have an opportunity to describe your extracurricular activities in your application. This is an excellent way for us to understand your unique experiences and insights and to come to know you personally. No club, community, or professional activity is more important than another. With activities, a sustained depth of commitment in one or two activities may demonstrate your passion more than minimal participation in five or six organizations.

Please note that there are separate sections in the online application for you to report activities during and after university/college. Examples of activities in which you are/have been involved may include charitable, civic, community, and professional.
