What makes Tuck tick?

Date: June 7th, 2007 Category; Uncategorized

The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth invited Athena Mentor to an Educational Consultants’ Conference in late April. It was a truly international gathering, with consultants from Brazil, Columbia, Chile, Jordan, Morocco, Ghana, China, Italy–and yes, Germany.

We brushed up on “What makes a great application?” “Steps to Obtain a Student Visa,” and “Ways and Means for Financial Aid.” Presentations on Tuck’s distinctive Research Centers stressed opportunities for MBA students to work on research projects in close cooperation with professors, often on projects of global scope.

By the end of the conference, we were fully prepared to play, “You Are the Admissions Committee.” Stellar numbers earned our admiration, but in order to get our vote, an applicant had to have enthusiasm for the close-knit community that is Tuck.

What’s the best way to find out what makes Tuck tick? Study the website! Visit the campus and attend a class! And since many international students may find it a bit of a hike to Hanover, New Hampshire–consider meeting up with an alum in your country. If you need help finding one, send email to Tuck or to athena@athena-mentor.com.

Will international students feel welcome at Tuck? Thirty-five percent of the class of 2008 comes from outside the United States. Thirty countries sent superbly-qualified young people to ramp up their skills at Tuck–and leave Tuck to turbo-charge international business.
