Who makes admissions decisions at the world’s elite universities? Luke Peña does. He is the Executive Director of Admissions and Financial Aid at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College.

Luke Peña’s life has been defined by education – whether during homeschooling in his younger years, watching his mom complete both college and medical school, or working in a variety of university admissions departments at Stanford and elsewhere. Luke understands what it takes to get into a top university b-school, and in this episode of TheSydCast he casts aside the opaque veil that is the Admissions process to explain what he looks for, why he looks for it, and what you can do to increase your odds of getting the call you’re dreaming of.
