Who should consider attending DivCo in the future? What piece of advice do you have for those considering it?
If you’ve been in a room full of people and felt like you stood out because of something that makes you unique, you should come to DivCo! Even if you are nervous about the idea of New Hampshire or just starting to learn about business schools and are curious about Tuck, apply to DivCo! It is a great opportunity to learn about what a supportive community looks like.
Did you attend DivCo when you were considering Tuck? If yes, what were your key takeaways?
As an applicant, I was able to attend DivCo virtually [during COVID]. I loved hearing from first- and second-year students about their experiences—it really helped me get a sense of what the day-to-day would look like for me at Tuck. That being said, my favorite part of the weekend was listening to Dean Dia Draper speak. It was awesome to see how much she cares about the Tuck community; it made me feel like I would be able to find a space for myself.
Why did you choose to volunteer at DivCo?
Since I attended DivCo virtually last year, this time around I knew I wanted to experience DivCo in person and volunteering was a great opportunity to do so. I loved meeting the applicants, sharing my experience with them, and answering questions. Above all, I really loved seeing how applicants were getting to know each other and making connections. It was clear that no matter where each of the applicants end up (hopefully here at Tuck!), the connections they built at DivCo will turn into real friendships. It was like watching a really great and diverse network take shape before my eyes!
Did you attend DivCo when you were considering Tuck? If yes, what were your key takeaways?
I attended DivCo in 2021 when I was considering Tuck. I had attended plenty of virtual Tuck events but wanted to experience the campus in person. I’m glad I came because it confirmed that Tuck was the right fit for me. It also confirmed that the strong sense of community that Tuck is known for is real and palpable. My main takeaway from attending DivCo was that everyone I met—students, faculty, staff—seemed genuinely excited to be at Tuck, and for me, this was the best evidence of a strong MBA program.
Why did you choose to volunteer at DivCo?
I chose to volunteer at DivCo because I remember how impactful the weekend was for me when I attended as a prospective student one year ago. When I came for DivCo in 2021, I remember there were Tuck students at every turn who were excited to share their Tuck experience and answer any questions I had. I wanted to be one of those Tuckies for attendees this year. It was inspiring to meet prospective students, hear their stories, and feel like I could contribute in whatever small way to their MBA application and decision journey.
Who should consider attending DivCo in the future? What piece of advice do you have for those considering it?
If you’re interested in Tuck, I’d encourage you to attend DivCo! No website or conversation alone will help you know if a business school is the right choice. Tuck is an amazing place, but to understand why Tuckies are so in love with it, you need to visit the Upper Valley. I equate it to college visits during high school to see which one "feels" right. And for Tuck, I think that’s even more true.
Visiting Tuck through DivCo affords the opportunity to experience campus life, connect with students from diverse backgrounds, and get a glimpse into what makes the Tuck community so unique.
Why did you choose to volunteer at DivCo?
Throughout my application process, I received so much insight and support from the Tuckies before me; I wanted to be able to provide the same to those who follow. Through DivCo, I was able to serve as another touchpoint for prospective students to understand what Tuck has to offer.
