The account is represented by Mr Sudershan Tirumala.
Sudershan Tirumala (Suds) earned his MBA from the Tuck School of Business in 2010. He is the Key Country Representative for Tuck in India and South East Asia.

For those of you considering applying to Tuck, refer to the deadlines below for the various application rounds. All the best!
The Tuck Application will be coming online shortly. In the meantime, I'm posting the essays that will be part of the application this year. So, it's time to introspect and come up with essays that are a true reflection of who you are. This is the opportunity for you to make the case for yourself - why should you be given the admission ahead of your fellow applicants from around the world? Get cracking!
Essays:
Please respond fully but concisely to the following essay questions. There are no right or wrong answers. We encourage applicants to limit the length of their responses to 500 words for each essay. Please double-space your responses.
1. Why is an MBA a critical next step toward your short- and long-term career goals? Why is Tuck the best MBA fit for you and your goals and why are you the best fit for Tuck?
2. Tell us about your most meaningful leadership experience and what role you played. What did you learn about your own individual strengths and weaknesses through this experience?
3. (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.
4. (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.
