So I know folks have asked about fit and Tuck...but I'm wondering:
- what are some characteristics of students who would "fit in" and do well at Tuck?
- any "types" of students who should steer clear and look for a different school?
thanks!

I've only visited, but the impression I got was that the isolated location and small school has a large impact on fit.
I think an ideal Tuck student would be highly social, not mind constant interaction with a relatively small group of people and possessed a drive to get involved with school activities. I also think it would be very difficult to keep your school life and non-school life separate. Of course these attributes are common to most successful MBA students, but I think they are even more important at a place like Tuck.
I think you are a lot less anonymous at Tuck. Consider it something like living in a really small town. Everybody knows your business and you know theirs.
I think there are only 3 bars in town and since undergrads can't drink you will see the same people over and over again. It's not like Columbia where you and your friends can find a bar away from the school and enjoy some down time.
