In January 2026, Tuck School of Business hosts six MBA-related events, comprising one virtual event and five in-person events. The month’s programming is designed to support both applicants navigating specific stages of the admissions process and prospective students seeking direct exposure to the Tuck community through campus and city-based engagements.
In-Person Events
The in-person events are spread across campus visits and regional networking opportunities. Tuck Campus Visits are available on 20 January and 26 January, allowing prospective and admitted students to experience the Tuck environment through a structured visit that includes a student Q&A lunch, a guided campus tour, and conversations with staff. In addition, Discover Tuck Happy Hours are hosted on 27 January in Seattle (WA), 28 January in San Francisco (CA), and 29 January in Los Angeles (CA). These informal gatherings provide an opportunity to meet the Executive Director of Admissions and Financial Aid, engage with the local Tuck community, and gain a clearer sense of the MBA experience in a relaxed, conversational setting.

It is easy to comment, but it is tough to structure the essay from the perspective of the applicant and turn the essay into a winning application essay.
3) Aligning with the Culture of the School
A big part of editing and guiding applicants is in educating them about the culture of the school
Some schools have very ‘specific’ traits that they are looking for in an applicant.
If you don’t highlight them and lean towards general leadership or cultural narratives, the essay won’t work.
I will guide you through the writing process.
I will also iteratively edit the essays without losing your original voice.
Virtual Events
The virtual event takes place on 14 January with the Tuck AMA for Waitlisted Applicants. This online Ask Me Anything session is specifically tailored for candidates on the waitlist and focuses on how to approach the process thoughtfully. Members of the Tuck Admissions team will outline expectations and next steps, while current T’27 students who were previously waitlisted share practical insights and personal experiences to help applicants better understand how waitlist decisions unfold.
