One of the biggest benefits of Tuck that people do not commonly talk about is how the small class size can be an advantage with recruiting. My first year recruiting allowed me to interview with 11 major consulting firms on campus, including Bain, McKinsey, Booz Allen, and others. I also interviewed with several major investment banks, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, DLJ, and J.P. Morgan. My friends at larger schools could not believe the number and quality of interviews I had. There are very few big egos here.
People buy into the teamwork concept.
The faculty is unbelievably accessible. Many of them give their home phone numbers on the syllabus. However, Tuck provided a warm, nurturing environment not only for myself but for my family. Tuck's team-oriented culture easily allowed me the flexibility to succeed. This school is undergoing an interesting transition into the future of graduate business education.
