As F1GMAT’s Lead Consultant and Essay Specialist, I will help you structure the essay by:

1)  Incorporating your Personal Brand

I will help you find unique life experiences that would differentiate you from the highly competitive Tuck MBA application pool.

2)  Including Storytelling elements

I have developed a keen sense of storytelling from over a decade and a half of editing essays and writing essay examples for F1GMAT’s Essay Guides.

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. 


Larger networking events include Discover Tuck: Perspectives in Hanover, NH (September 19), Discover Tuck & McCombs Happy Hour in New Orleans (September 25), and Discover Tuck Happy Hour with the Director in Houston, TX (September 27). 
Tuck will also participate in the Access MBA Tour, with sessions in Washington, DC (September 22), Philadelphia (September 23), and New York (September 25). 

Additionally, Tuck Campus Visits are available on September 22 and 29, offering admitted and prospective students the chance to experience the campus through tours, Q&A sessions, and student interactions.
 

Virtual Events

The virtual events feature interactive opportunities to engage with admissions and gain insights into the MBA application process. Conversation with Tuck Admissions will be held on September 16, 23, 25, and 30, allowing prospective candidates to ask questions in a Q&A format with the admissions team. 

Prospective students can also schedule 1:1 Tuck Coffee Chats with the Executive Director, Lawrence Mur’ray, on September 17 (San Francisco) and September 22 (Houston), available both virtually and in person. 

Other virtual offerings include the TOEFL Destinations: Top U.S. Business Schools event on September 17, aimed at international applicants, and the Virtual Forté MBA Forum on September 25, which connects students with admissions representatives, alumni, and peers.
