Thanks! I had the chance to visit Hanover this past weekend and did a self guided tour of the campus and downtown (ate at Murphy's and had a great burger; my fiancee had "the best BLT of her life"). I love the atmosphere, and couldn't stop smiling the entire time. Tuck is by far my number 1 choice. Congrats on having the opportunity to matriculate, I hope I'm in your shoes next year.

Thank you Faro! I am a Class of 2013 Tuckie and also ready to help with any questions you may have. Please feel free to PM me.

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it. I had the same experience during my visits. I also had dinner and a beer at Murphy's the night before my "official" Tuck visit/interview. Check out Dirt Cowboy Cafe, too, if you get a chance next time. Went there at my interviewer's recommendation and was not disappointed. Good luck in your application!
