Tuck mock interview

A twenty-minute spoken mock interview for Tuck (Dartmouth), and a written report afterwards on what landed and what did not.

How Tuck interviews

Tuck is one of the schools that run blind interviews with students and alumni. That page compares the schools that do and says how to prepare.

Guaranteed if your complete application is in by Tuck's guaranteed-interview date, weeks before the round deadline (1 September and 1 December in the 2026–27 cycle). Otherwise by invitation.
Mostly with trained second-year students, who use only your résumé and ask behavioral questions.
30 to 45 minutes; virtual, with a limited number on campus.

From Tuck’s own site: Tuck: interview with Tuck

How it works

Give us your CV, or just type it, and pick your school. Dean asks one consultant's questions, about Tuck.
Talk for twenty minutes. No push-to-talk and no script on your side: the interviewer asks, listens, and follows up on what you actually said, which means it will not go exactly as you rehearsed it.
Read the report. Scored against what an experienced interviewer listens for, quoting what you said, with the things to fix first.

The interview screen, mid-question: the question in large type, a live audio waveform, the school and the elapsed time. — The interview itself. It asks, then waits. No push-to-talk, nothing to read from.

Why practice out loud

Reading the questions is not answering them. Most people find out how long their answer actually runs, and how much of it is abstract, the first time they say it to someone who follows up. That is the part a Tuck interview tests, and it is the part a list of questions cannot rehearse.

A section of a report: a weak answer quoted from the interview, why it cost the candidate, and a rewritten version built from their own words. — Not just what fell short, but how it could have been said, built from what you already told it.

What it costs

$60 for 3 interviews, or $25 for a single one, charged once in USD. Not a subscription: nothing renews, and there is nothing to cancel. Unused interviews can be refunded within 30 days, and an interview that fails on our side is refunded without you having to ask. The refund policy is the full version and it is short.

Who it is from

Dean runs the interview a Harvard MBA and admissions consultant has spent years giving: the same questions, in the same order, with the same follow-ups when an answer stays abstract. It is software: an interviewer and a written report on your own schedule, not a conversation with a human consultant. How this is worked out.
