FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: How do YOU de-stress? |
Today some students found their happy in the company of furry friends! Organized by the MBAPO (MBA Program Office) and Tuck's Quality of Life Chair, we had a room full of Tuck dogs ready and willing to play, cuddle, kiss, nuzzle, and take away ALL the anxiety that can come with being a busy student at a top business school. Leave it to Tuck to come up with such a brilliant idea! Numerous studies show that pets and therapy animals can help reduce stress in humans. The below picture is just a small sample of the pups that helped raise everyone's spirits this afternoon at Tuck. What a great day! |
FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: Ask Dawna - Which round should I apply in? |
We're often asked which application round will maximize a candidate’s chance at admission. Tuck doesn’t designate a specific number of offers to each round, but rather bases offers on the quality and quantity of the applicant pool during that particular round. Though April is a bit more competitive since many spots in the class are full, we try to be equitable throughout. On that note, it’s best to apply with the strongest application possible, whether that means shooting for Early Action or April. Bottom line, a strong application will stand out regardless of the round you apply in. Good luck as your prepare your applications – we look forward to reading them! Our next application deadline is April 2, 2014 |
FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: Educational Opportunities at Tuck for Partners |
Earlier this month, I attended the Center for Private Equity and Entrepreneurship's annual conference on Private Equity and Growth Ventures (here's the link to the 2014 conference agenda). My husband is pursuing a career in PE post-Tuck, and I'm really interested in the industry as well, both personally and professionally. I found the panel topics and keynote speakers to be really engaged, enthusiastic, and insightful, and I felt really lucky to have access to such a lineup of industry veterans merely by virtue of being a Tuck Partner. Later this week, I'm actually attending another Tuck-sponsored conference, put on by the Center on Business and Society (website). In this instance again, I'm invited/eligible to attend simply because I'm a TP (Tuck Partner). I work full-time in development and philanthropy, so social impact and creating measurable social change is central so what I do for a living -- this conference's topics should also be right up my alley! Taking advantage of speakers on Tuck's campus is just one way that TPs can tap into academic/learning opportunities happening at Tuck. Many, many TPs audit a class (or several) during their time in Hanover. Some go above and beyond what's typically required of auditors, and join teams of students and participate fully in final projects and presentations to classmates and professors. I know of at least one partner who joined a group of students' First Year Project (FYP) -- the culminating experience of the first year of curriculum for Tuck students (link to article). That group ended up winning $25,000 in funding at the annual Dartmouth Ventures conference last year (also put on through the aforementioned Center for Private Equity), and they're still together and competing for more funds this year. Partners can participate in Tuck clubs (for example, female partners can take part in Women in Business activities). There are also less formal learning opportunities being organized all the time (most recently, I heard of efforts to organize a language exchange program for students and partners, leveraging the many languages and cultures coalescing on Tuck's campus). Not having attended other business schools, I can't speak to whether opportunities like these are available to spouses/significant others across all the schools you might be considering. I can say, however, that Tuck welcoming partners in these ways has made an enormous difference in my experience as the partner of a business school student. Incorporating partners like this also has a significant effect (in my opinion) on Tuck's overall culture, which I've found to be incredibly inclusive and collaborative, and one that considers all perspectives valuable--both in and oustide the classroom. |
