A lawyer who has founded two startups is an unusual candidate. I’m assuming that both were at least somewhat successful and that you learned a ton creating those companies and serving customers. Your GPA is solid, though your 317 GRE score is below the latest class average of 324 at Tuck. Your short-term goal to return to your employer and help modernize the company’s operations will also reassure the school that you are not a placement risk. A lot of this will depend on how well you tell your story and how impressive you are in person. That’s something that is obviously opaque in these sparse descriptions. I believe, given your startup experience and your pro bono work on behalf of others, that you do …

Hi Mr. Mexican, Julie-Anne Heafey with mbaMission. You definitely are an unusual candidate, and I’m sure they will want to hear more about the lessons you’ve learned and how you’ll apply your MBA to the problems of your companies. I’ve actually worked with a successful lawyer/entrepreneur applicant before, though not from Mexico and not for Tuck, and we leaned on emphasizing the business side over the legal side and highlighting his incredible drive to build successful organizations. With a general management outlook, Tuck’s a solid choice for your goals. I think you also have a geographic advantage, bringing an international perspective from a region that’s not a huge feeder to Tuck – only 6% of the class is from Latin America vs. …
Hi Mr. Mexican, Julie-Anne Heafey with mbaMission. You definitely are an unusual candidate, and I’m sure they will want to hear more about the lessons you’ve learned and how you’ll apply your MBA to the problems of your companies. I’ve actually worked with a successful lawyer/entrepreneur applicant before, though not from Mexico and not for Tuck, and we leaned on emphasizing the business side over the legal side and highlighting his incredible drive to build successful organizations. With a general management outlook, Tuck’s a solid choice for your goals. I think you also have a geographic advantage, bringing an international perspective from a region that’s not a huge feeder to Tuck – only 6% of the class is from Latin America vs. 20% from Asia. For me, the big question is clearly communicating what you bring to the table and demonstrating your connection to Tuck. Not sure if it’s the only school you’re targeting…but keep in mind it’s not a big class, so think about adding some similar general management programs to your list, especially ones with good sustainability initiatives, like Fuqua and Darden.
Hi, Melisa from Stratus Admissions. Congrats on your interview with Tuck. I think your experience in both law and business in Mexico will be very attractive to Tuck. While your GRE is lower than average, it is in the range and I think the uniqueness of your background will help overcome it. As you prepare for your interview, think about how your 5-6 most impactful stories can tell your story. And practice! Out loud! With a trusted friend that can give you feedback. I am guessing you have interesting stories across your start up experiences as well as managing your region. Remember that Tuck is a small close-knit class – highlight how you work in teams and how you have created impact through teams. The …
