To our recently admitted students: Congratulations on your admission to Tuck! Your MBA journey is about to begin, and there’s no better way to immerse yourself in the Tuck experience than by joining us for Admitted Students Weekend (ASW) on April 4–6.
ASW is more than just a campus visit—it’s your opportunity to experience firsthand the tight-knit, collaborative community that makes Tuck unique. Over the course of the weekend, you’ll connect with future classmates, engage with faculty and staff, explore life in the Upper Valley, and get a true sense of what it means to be an MBA student at Tuck.
Still wondering if ASW is worth it? Four current T’26 students—Jasmine Syed, Lily McCarthy, Dennis Lee, and Zach Davies—share how attending ASW shaped their decision to join Tuck and what made their experience unforgettable.
“I am so glad I attended ASW since it helped me determine if I wanted to take the plunge and get my MBA. Tuck is a unique place and it gave my partner and I a better sense of what our life would be like in the Upper Valley. As someone looking to pursue a less structured career path, it was invaluable to be able to start engaging with career services and the centers to learn more about the resources available. After experiencing Tuck traditions like the Small Group Dinner and band party, my partner actually asked me to pick Tuck!”
—Jasmine Syed T’26
“Attending ASW was one of the best decisions that I made. It was my first time visiting Hanover and Tuck in person, and I immediately knew that Tuck was the right place for me. The variety of events and opportunities to connect with current and prospective students showcased the potential community awaiting me, and I came away from that weekend invigorated and overjoyed to accept my spot at Tuck. ASW brought to life everything that I had heard about Tuck through conversations – and experiencing that in person made my decision to attend Tuck easy! To anyone considering attending, I cannot recommend it enough.”
—Lily McCarthy T’26
“ASW is a great way to learn about what Tuck has to offer academically, professionally, and socially. It’s an opportunity to truly experience what it means to be a Tuckie. Personally, I chose the school for both its tight-knit community and strong network. My time during ASW not only confirmed my decision to join the Tuck community, but it also allowed me to meet future classmates who would later become great friends when we stepped back onto campus in the fall!”
—Dennis Lee T’26
“Assessing your fit with an MBA program (location + people) is the most critical step of ensuring your happiness during your MBA experience. I had networked extensively and visited Tuck briefly for my interview, but it wasn't until I attended ASW that Tuck truly came to life for me. Life in the Upper Valley is special and unique, and it's important for you to visit prior to deciding. There's a magic to Tuck that you can only experience in person! Some of the people I met at ASW are some of my best friends here at Tuck! I know that this year the team has planned some amazing events for admitted students, and I can't recommend it enough.”
—Zach Davies T’26
