In December, Tuck School of Business will host 16 MBA events, evenly split between 8 virtual events and 8 in-person events. Together, these sessions are designed to help prospective applicants engage with the Tuck community, gain application guidance, and connect with students, alumni, and admissions leaders across multiple regions.
In-Person Events
The in-person events include campus experiences and global networking opportunities. Tuck Campus Visits on 8 December allow prospective and admitted students to explore campus through tours, student lunches, and staff Q&A. International engagement features Tuck’s 125 Celebration on 9 December in Tokyo, followed by Discover Tuck Dinner with the Director and Alumni on 10 December and 1:1 Tuck Coffee Chat with the Director on 11 December, both also in Tokyo.

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 events focus on community conversations and application support. AMA sessions with student affinity groups provide candid insights into student life and support systems at Tuck, including AMA with Low Income and First-Generation at Tuck (LIFT) on 8 December and 16 December, AMA with Tuck HASA on 10 December and 17 December, and AMA with the Black Students Association at Tuck (BSAT) on 22 December. In addition, Holiday Hours with Tuck Admissions will be held on 15 December, 16 December, and 17 December, offering drop-in virtual Q&A support for Round 2 and Round 3 applicants seeking last-minute feedback on essays, goals, and resumes.
