Thought or two on Tuck

I took a minute to review my Tuck app and reflected on the Tuck visit and interview. The people involved in the admissions process (including students) were extremely friendly and attentive. By far the most friendly, engaged and energetic of all the ones I considered.

But there were a couple of red flags that have stuck with me. I saw people walking-in late to class and also thought some students weren't fully prepared. Couldn't tell if it was because of the early class. I guess it's nice to know you won't be locked out of your class... but.... just an observation.

Also, Hanover is a nice small town. Now I know why Adcom recommends people paying a visit. It's a nice small town. Did I mention that it's a small town?

I am glad that I had small town exposure before. Otherwise, I would have freaked out at what a small place it is. But it does explain the friendly people. If you're a big Survivor or Lost fan (I never watch either one) you'd love Hanover!!!

So anyways. I still want in at Tuck!!! I think one can develop deep friendships that will last a lifetime. The academics seem strong and placement even stronger. There seems to be some nice flexibility with course work in the second year. Also, if you're like me and enjoy ethnic food from all over the world. You could end up being a master chef at ethnic food cause that's the only way you'll get any!!! I kidd... I kidd... actually there are a couple of small places... Thai, Indian, Chinese. But if you like Ethiopian or Carribean then pick up a good cook-book on your way to B-School.
