School Comments:
N/A
An MBA, especially at an intense school like this one, is not for everyone. Tuck requires a full committment, and so I would not urge just anyone to go. -- Consulting
I had an incredible experience at Tuck in terms of education, networking opportunity, career advancement and the overall inclusive and socially responsible environment. I would definitely urge my friends to pursue their MBA at Tuck. -- Finance
I personally believe that Tuck provides the best, most well rounded MBA. Tuck's program is based on a mix of traditional classroom learning and case based learning, which I believe provides the best platform to learn business fundamentals. -- Consulting
My experience during my MBA at Tuck was unique in terms of balacing academic, professional and extra-curricular activities. Because the size and culture of the school, I was able to develop many projects that helped me to enhance my expousure into Leadership and Teamwork issues. -- Consulting
There is nothing like being at Tuck. The community is so strong, and you learn so much about business and about yourself in two years. I'm leaving with more confidence, more knowledge and more connections than I ever expected to get from an MBA program. -- Investment Banking
Tuck is truly a special place. The faculty interaction with students far exceeded my expectations. Always available to discuss course content, on-going research or current events, I enjoyed many a beer and/or meal with my professors, at both their homes and my own. The Tuck experience is such a personal one, I would not trade my time there for anything. -- Venture Capital/Private Equity
Tuck is a very different school due to its size and close knight community. I believe this type of environment to be great for many of my friends, but not all of them. -- Consulting
Tuck is a very unique place. It is a challenging and nuturing environment. The small community acts almost like a family and is a great support network. The opportunities are so vast that you have problems deciding what not to do. Academically and professionally I feel prepared to take on any job, and found my experiences very helpful in finding my full time employer. -- Consulting
I would definitely recommend Tuck to anyone. In addition to providing a worldclass education,the program offers tremendous opportunities for self-development and relationship building. The community is incredibly tight-knit from the administration to the faculty to the students (and alumni). -- Marketing
Tuck can provide everything one needs to grow as a person and business leader. Tuck' unique size, location, and reputation prvodie an offer that no other top school can match. I fully expect my experience to pay dividends, professionally and personally, for the rest of my life. -- Venture Capital/Private Equity
The atmosphere at Tuck is unbeatable. Great people, great surroundings, great overall experience.
Not every person is right for my MBA program (Tuck). If I think a person would like it there, I would absolutely urge them to go, but as a blanket statement I would not urge everyone to apply to Tuck. -- Investment Banking
Tuck is absolutely amazing! The environment is extremely supportive yet challanges everyone to a great extent. Further, I think this school's location not only builds a strong sense of community but also creates opportunities to meet visiting executives up close. -- Investment Banking
The small-class size and tight-close community will provide my friend or colleagues a unique MBA experience by maximizing their learning process as well as their chances to find a dream-job. Tuck does a very good job putting students with different backgrounds and nationalities to work together, simulating real-life work scenarios as well as stimulating them to exercise leadership positions in the community. -- Finance
I believe there is not a better school than Tuck for an international student with family. The small town environment absolutely enhances personal relationships with both american and other international students, and the extensive contact with nature is by far the most rewarding experience for someone with kids. -- Investment Banking
Tuck is an amazing place to go to school. The close knit community really makes the experience that much more special. The professors were always accessible and are part of the everyday community. All the faculty teaches os you get to listen to the best and brightest minds. I would recommend Tuc kto everyone who could get in. -- Finance
Tuck is a truly amazing place. I had high hopes for my MBA experience and they were all exceed by the experience that I had a Tuck. The strength of the bonds formed and the personal as well as professional development that the Tuck Experience fosters, differentiate the school from its peer institutions. -- Consulting
Tuck is a unique place, and presents a great opportunity to grow in many ways. The faculty, staff, and students are top notch. The academics are rigorous, but the opportunities upon graduation are virtually limitless. That said, Tuck is not for everyone. -- Finance
I am extremely grateful for having experienced two years at Tuck. Graduating from Tuck with people of the highest human, intellectual and moral standards is a great honor. Tuck is a very special place I will always remember fondly as having given me the best two years of my life. -- Consulting
