Mr. Engineer to Start-up – Thanks for posting your profile. Susan Cera here from Stratus.

Having gone to Dartmouth undergrad, I can see how someone who likes to mountain bike and ski in their free time would put Tuck at the top of their list for business school options. Furthermore, Tuck’s Center for Health Care and resources for entrepreneurs make it a no-brainer for someone with your career aspirations.

Your stats are solid and your professional experience aligns with your goals. Make sure that you can speak to how you will contribute to Tuck which is very much a student-driven school.

To me (based on information in the profile), your biggest weakness is leadership and community engagement. Use the next several months to build out your leadership …
