Tuck ASW
I was over at Tuck from April 12th to 15th for the Admitted Students Weekend and had a wonderful time. The weekend was full of back to back events - students panel, alumni panel, dinner with students, wine night etc. There were parties and there were after-parties. All in all, we were kept busy. We were hit by some bad weather, but it really didn't dampen the spirit of the event.
ASW also gave me an opportunity to meet and make friends with my potential classmates. Boy, I can vouch that I am gonna be among a very impressive bunch. What amazed me was that an overwhelming number of attendees were already decided on coming to Tuck. There were a few deciding between Tuck and Harvard/Stanford/Chicago/Sloan, but most of those guys were leaning towards Tuck as well. I guess this speaks of the self-selecting applicant pool Tuck attracts.
Highlight of the event was an interesting speech by Parthenon Group's CEO, Mr. Bill Achtmeyer, who is also a Tuck alum. He made no secrets of his strong bias towards Tuck, and really entertained the crowd with some funny reasons why one should come to Tuck and not go to Harvard/Wharton.
The event confirmed that the biggest strength of Tuck is its strong alumni community. They really are CLOSE-KNIT and are always keen to help. There were quite a few of them present at the event and they shared their experiences. Tuck CDO (Career Development Office) shared the story about how difficult it was to place students in job-scarce 2001. CDO sought out help from alumni and requested them to hire at least one student. Per CDO, they were overwhelmed by the response to their appeal, and every student was taken care of even in year 2001. Really impressive! I look forward to being part of such a strong community.
I am glad I could go, and I certainly drank green kool-aid (and quite literally too). August can't come any sooner.
Prospective students may find following info useful (disclosed over ASW):
- 13% increase in applications this year; over 2600 applications.
- 165 admits have already accepted; class may be larger than usual.
- 715 average GMAT of the applicants admitted so far.

Better be unboun than untaught, for ignorance is the root of misfortune.

Accordingly, judgment would be in favour of the claimant, and therefore the defendant was ordered to pay back the deposit.

With the economy as it is and job security becoming a rapidly fading memory, more and more people are starting to realize that they have just as much chance of success working for themselves as they do working for a large corporation.
