Hi Mr. Aspiring Management Consultant, Julie-Anne Heafey here from mbaMission. I think your experience is very cool and sets you apart from many applicants…love that you did some work in Madrid for 6 months and have managed a promotion despite COVID. That speaks to your progress and contributions at work! Tuck’s a great place for aspiring consultants, and they’ll love your global perspective and brand work. Your GPA’s a little low, but I think you’d be OK at Tuck (Wharton might be more challenging) and I wish you were submitting an above-average GMAT instead of GRE (both are fine, but since you are outpeforming the average, a GMAT boost to the class average would help them more) but your score is good. …

I just rated your odds conservatively because I think you’re a little young…Tuck tends to look for more like 5 years of experience at matriculation and seems like you’ll be just above 3.5 maybe, which is low for males. You can certainly give it a shot – really explain your timing clearly and how your work has been impactful and meaningful enough to make strong contributions to the program despite your shorter tenure. Also explain clearly why Tuck – fit is super important, and take advantage of any opportunities to network there and submit early to guarantee an interview if they offer that again. Best of luck, my clients have LOVED their Tuck experience – I just heard from one yesterday!
