Tuck MBA Class of 2013 答疑帖

alizwell

谢谢大牛啊~~~泪~~
最近各种咨询问下来，大家都觉得我就这分数申请TUCK是死路一条啊

TUCK真心是dreamschool,看到开贴的tuck2013的有个校友是说自己690我才有点信心
请问这种情况应该怎么向什么方向努力才能有win的机会呢

don't let the GT score hold you back, but rather, realize it's a not your strongest suite (may not be a good test taker, had a rough week when taking the test, whatever it maybe), tell a story, and how you think you can improve/learn from that.  "Who you are" is not the most important thing to the school, "Who you can become" is more important.  knowing yourself, your strength and weaknesses can certainly increase the odds of your future career success, and MBA schools love those candidates with good self awareness.

check out the Ross admit that started off with a super low T score, if you haven't already.  that story showed determination, which is more important than the end result, for me at least.  On a separate story, T is kind of a necessity, cause you need basic language skills to perform in class as well as recruiting.  but my point is, if you can tell a convincing story around your G score, no matter how low it is, you always have the chance to win the heart of the admission people.  and btw, while 700 is certainly not a super star score, i don't think you need to struggle too much on that, and it certainly does not require specific explanation around that score.  Focus on your essay, on your personality, your ambition for your future etc., that would give you a better chance of getting accepted than fixating on the GMAT score.

I maybe able to give you some suggestions, but in the end, you are the one that knows all your stories, and you should be the best person hand picking those stories and weaving a best package for the admission to review.

Hope this helps, and best of luck to your application to Tuck.

同意。 你若真心喜欢Tuck干吗不申请让自己有所遗憾？ 再次强调the whole package的重要性。

即将升入二年级的我们都还在实习，说句心里话，大家都蛮思念“村里”的，没有大城市的吵杂和喧闹，但她却有一份温文尔雅，一份舒心，一份安稳的感觉。绝对是个读书的好地方。似乎只有Tuck有学生宿舍，强烈建议单身的学生住校内，当然方便便利不说，更方便你融入学校和美国（也要看人的个性，呵呵）。

来Tuck看看，你会找到你所追寻的。

谢谢您~~
一边看一遍掉眼泪...唉办公室里失态了...
You are the one that knows all your stories~
谢谢，我知道怎么做了
冲着tuck的亲们这么有爱，一定要努力啊努力！！！！

evamimi

谢谢，我一定会申的，不管分数有多低~
其实我就是因为tuck在村里才特别喜欢的....
工作时间一长就觉得人特别浮躁，还是这样的环境能让人沉静下来好好思考
尤其喜欢内敛温和的气氛，aggressive神马的，不适合我~

support 一下

我也不知道

也确实很喜欢Tuck,可是大家都在强调Tuck的强项是GM，那我goal如果是打算IB的话，会不会显得不太好？但其实我看很多里面介绍Tuck的IB和其他Finance机会也很多的啊，谢谢！

另外就是Tuck的Application system，是不是今年还没开放？我都没看到申请表之类的东西，谢了！

关于推荐信，有没有学长可以私信联系的。。。有点问题。。。

alizwell

GM是因为没有单一的科目可以让你major或minor，IB是Tuck招聘的很大一块，虽然没看过数据，不过估计至少1/4的tuckies会去到IB行业。

介绍信的问题，如果不是太personal的，就发在这里，让大家都参考参考。比较personal的可以私信给我。application system的东西，好像应该8月底开放吧。不过说实话Tuck的IT真的很烂，基本上是要跳票的。耐心等等吧。  good luck啦。

其实不会。Tuck的强项虽然是GM，但没有一个学校愿意给自己打上这样那样的标签，他们都愿意强调自己是一个well-balance的school。如果你的goal是IB，你反倒可以说，因为周围竞争的人少，所以更容易standout，以及校友在street上势力强大，再加上close的关系，比finance school更make sense，尤其是对国际学生。 good luck

在dream school这里留个印

顺便想请教前辈，本人G700，T还没考
GPA3.0，国内top 10 univeristy

2.5Year HSBC+2.5Year Socgen
都在Commerical banking 做credit analyst
MBA后想去IB,当然呆在commercial banking也行

不知道这样的背景申tuck会不会有点牵强？
我知道自己G低，gpa低，但真心不想再考了....
有木有什么其他方面的弥补办法？？

比如说我大学期间在学校交响乐团，经常出去巡演，
然后还自己开过网店卖过化妆品之类的....
这种经历是否值得写进去呢囧....实在是普通人一枚啊.....

-- by 会员 evamimi (2012/6/27 15:55:38)

同上搭档问
本人也是GPA低  港本
GPA 3.0  G 760  T 7月再战  3yr we family business 有做一定数量的国际项目(主要是在第三世界国家 e.g 柬埔寨 老挝.. 厄瓜多尔 尼加拉瓜。。。)
背景比较怪异...
这种背景申tuck会比较牵强吗?  或者说 tuck会怎样看待这种申请人?

-- by 会员 sosad369 (2012/6/27 20:57:33)

商学院欢迎各种背景的人。在学校里除了向老师学习之外，很大一部分是向自己的同学学习。学校希望能通过一个diversify的student body带来各种各样不同的perspectives，这个是很重要的。有什么背景并不重要，重要的是这些背景让你获得了什么提高，认识到了什么，把你变成了一个什么样的人。而这样的人最终能带给学校什么，以及带给同学什么，这才是要重点强调的。人的见识、观念都是通过经历所塑造的，之所以unique，不是因为过去的经历怪异，而是yourself。

更正，French还在，下面是这两位大牛在Fall Term的选修课名称：
Investments (INV) – French
Leadership in the Global Economy (LGE) – FH Mini – Slaughter
还有一位大牛，叫Adner，很年轻但是最近出了一本书叫The wide lens，非常好
Entrepreneurship and Innovation Strategy  (EIS) – Adner

不是吧，那岂不是听不到French他老人家的课了……Dean Slaughter还授课么？

-- by 会员 leeern (2012/2/1 15:06:44)

Slaughter还在，只教2年级的选修课，具体哪几门课没研究过。

Adner简直就是神……对想要创业的同学一定不要放过Adner的课，几乎是受到所有学生顶礼膜拜的神
