Tuck Business School has received an anonymous investment of US$100 million to be used to launch ‘cluster initiatives’ to improve its MBA courses at Tuck Business School.
Tuck will use the money to form groups to form "cluster initiatives" to make deeper links with nontraditional MBA themes. Themes include engineering, business, medicine
Faculty will collaborate and hire new professors. Proposed clusters will have up to eight faculty members and will each create three new faculty positions, with this number increasing to as many as 30-40 over the next decade.
Dartmouth plans to build 10 clusters, the first three of which will be completed before the end of the 2014 academic year to generate new courses, curricula and research.

This year’s questions are below with a suggested (i.e. very strongly suggested) word limit of 500 words per essay...
1. Why is an MBA a critical next step toward your short- and long-term career goals? Why is Tuck the best MBA program for you, and what will you uniquely contribute to the community? (If you are applying for a joint or dual degree, please explain how the additional degree will contribute to those goals.)
2. Discuss your most meaningful leadership experience. What did you learn about your own individual strengths and weaknesses through this experience?
3. Describe a circumstance in your life in which you faced adversity, failure, or setback. What actions did you take as a result and what did you learn from this experience?
4. (Optional) Please provide any additional insight or information that you have not addressed elsewhere that may be helpful in reviewing your application (e.g., unusual choice of evaluators, weaknesses in academic performance, unexplained job gaps or changes, etc.). Complete this question only if you feel your candidacy is not fully represented by this application.
5. (To be completed by all reapplicants) How have you strengthened your candidacy since you last applied? Please reflect on how you have grown personally and professionally.
Tuck encourages applicants to limit the length of their responses to 500 words for each essay. The online application will be available in early August.
