Dartmouth Tuck Interview Experience 1:

I had on-campus MBA personal interview at Tuck which lasted for 35-40 minutes. The interview was very relaxed & had a friendly approach by the Adcom members. It was quite evident from the questions asked which revolved around my involvement with teamwork and leadership. My interview practice sessions were with Tuck alumni which helped me answer the questions.

  • What were the reasons for you to choose your undergrad institution?
  • How involved were you in the extracurricular activities?
  • Do you have any long term and short term professional goals?
  • Tell us three adjectives to describe you? Why?

I would suggest the MBA application prepare well for the interview and also do mock interview sessions if possible. This will help you to relax and also prepare the possible answers for the questions.

Dartmouth Tuck Interview Experience 2:

  • Take me through your resume quickly.
  • What are the reasons for you to do a master degree? Why Tuck?
  • Help us understand your work experience in detail?
  • What are your short term and long term goals?
  • Why do you want to quit your current company and do an MBA and Why now?
  • Which industry does want to be and what are the possible career options?
  • Do you have any other areas of interest which make you different from others?

Dartmouth Tuck Interview Experience 3:

My interview with Tuck Adcom was completely based on my resume and application essays. The Tuck Adcom members were very generous and made me comfortable. The questions asked in my Tuck interview were:

  • Self-Introduction.
  • How did you handle a tough situation with the team member at your workplace?
  • Have you taken up any leadership roles voluntarily?
  • What are your plans and how do you want to get involved with the Tuck community?
  • What are your long term & short term career goals?
  • Why an MBA? Why Tuck

These were the major question I had for Tuck interview and I’m happy that I had prepared the answers and I had a few mock interview sessions with my seniors before the actual interview with Adcom.
