You’re running in the right direction. Having been a professional athlete-turned-consultant, you’re a candidate who immediately pops off the page. Your 720 GMAT is in the pocket for Tuck.

More importantly, it’s an ideal place to successfully make your career pivot into strategic consulting. Your chances there are very good and right now Tuck is undervalued due to its fall in U.S. News’ ranking. But I remain high on the school and the MBA experience and think you would really benefit from it as well.
