Hi Osher,

I have went to the same "michlala" a few years before you and have graduated from Tuck a little over a year ago, so let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Eran,

I'll try to answer some of your questions, especially in the life-science context since that's my field, but you might want to refer some of them to Gilam as well:

1) I don't think you British citizenship will help you in getting into schools and/or getting financial assistance, at least in the US. It might be different in the UK but I'm not an expert on that.

2) I don't think your psychmetric score will have any effect on your application. They only look at your GMAT and TOEFL.

3) As for life sciences – it really depends on what you want to do. If you want to focus on R&D (from the commercial side, for example: evaluating drug potential etc.) than an MS will have some benefit. However, in most cases the jobs that MBA are hired for in the industry don't require very profound technical background and will value more a strong working experience, so I would definitely try to position any experience you might have as relevant for the industry (and for your MBA application for that matter).

I hope this helps,

Dudy

Hi Gili,

I don't have the accurate numbers, but I think there are about 20 Israelis in Hanover, most of them students and professors in Dartmouth. At Tuck there are currently 5 Israeli students.

As for the Jewish community, it's actually decent – probably a few hundreds around the Hanover area. There is a "reform" community and a Chabad one, which allows most people to find their place.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have anymore questions.

Hi Ayelet,

The way it works in Tuck is that you get grades on a relative scale to your peers. What's nice is that there are no "fails" on the curve, so it's not like someone has to fail.

You are not obligated to show your grades to recruiters, although some might ask you for your general performance(banks are sometimes an exception as they might ask you about your grades in specific relevant courses).

It is very rare that grades cost someone his job or something like that, and I think it's pretty much the same in all schools.

Hi Itzik,

I'm a 2nd year student at Tuck and what Limor told you is right: Tuck does allow you to interview on-campus before you've applied. It is not required, and again as Limor mentioned they understand that coming all the way from Israel is a big investment of time and money.

That said, I think there is great value in coming here to interview, and almost every Israel that was admitted to Tuck in the past few years interviewed here as well.

Hope it helps.

[dudy]

Limor,

I think the process in most of the universities is pretty similar: they ask that you self-report when you apply, and then ask you to send the official sealed transcripts from your university once you've been accepted (that was the case at Tuck). A few universities ask that you do that as part of your application (before they reach a decision).

In any case – the Israeli universities know what they need to do. Just make sure they seal it with a stamp. US universities accept 0-100 grades.

It's a good idea to get these official transcripts as soon as possible – sometimes it takes them a little bit of time (surprisngly enough…).

Good luck!

I don't know about BW and I don't know about 2004.

In 2005 and 2006 McKinsey gave 25-30 offers (each year). I think that is a bit different.

btw – courses like "g-lab" are not so special to MIT. We have the same course, and so do at least 3 more programs I know of (we just don't call it a "lab" but I guess you guys know how to have fun better than us..:)

Oren,

You have basically emphasized what I was trying to say:

1. McKinsey and their "relatives" don't look at rankings. That's why McKinsey made Tuck a core school.

2. You are right – Israelis that are accepted to MIT and Wharton never choose MIT, because of "the market perception" you mentioned. But Americans, Indians, British and practicly everyone from the world does. In my class it is not hard to find students who were accepted to H/W/S and others, but prefered Tuck because it was better for them. I am sure there were dozens that chose the other way, which is great – because people make their own choices and don't base them on this legend of "market perception" which of course never changes or gets updated.

Anyway, I guess we just look at that from different perspectives, which is fine.

Dudy

Dear Oren,

I am not sure where you bring this strong conviction of yours. I usually try to be a bit more cautious in my conclusions, but that's just me.

In any case, as a student at Tuck I would suggest you take a look at a few facts before you make your somewhat irresponsible comments:

1. Tuck is the only school which is ranked among the top-10 b-schools according to all the leading business journals in the world. I know that in Israel BusinessWeek is considered to be the top one for some unknown reason, but as an MIT alum you probably know that disregarding the Wall Street Journal's opinion completely is usually not the smartest move.

2. Tuck is ranked among the top-3 consistently in terms of recruiting: % of people finding jobs, average compensation at graduation, and average compensation 5 years after graduation. Newspapers like WSJ rank schools according to these numbers and that's the reason Tuck was #1 and other schools that you ranked among the top-7 had a lower rank.

3. Tuck has seen the highest increase in applications during the last year (and I believe also last year), among all the top-20 b-schools.

I, personally, don't know who the top-7 b-schools are (and I'm not sure when we decided that there are 7 and not 8 or 6). I am not even sure that it makes so much difference.

What I do know, is that people should make their decisions according to what they actually know about these schools, and not according to some urban legends that pass along the years. Therefore, my humble request from you is to let applicants figure out for themselves who their top-7 is, and be more careful in making strong declarations.

Thanks,

Dudy

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply – I was on a short vacation for a change.

Anyway, as you can probably imagine it's hard to describe a culture. Generally speaking, the old universities in New England have a certain culture to them which is more "old school" – that is derived from the facilities and the working environment, the tradition of the university, etc.

That is a general notion and of course there are differences between schools in this region. For example, Harvard is a New England Ivy League school but the culture is different in many senses.

Bottom line – I only understood it when I visited the schools so it is very hard to explain. I hope I gave you a general feeling of what I meant.

Good luck with your application!

Boston and Phily are definitely large centers, and so is Minneapolis. I also heard Chicago has quite a lot of that.

In any case, this industry is very "consolidated", so you basically have 3-4 large firms and all the rest are much smaller. J&J are definitely one of them, but I'm not sure if they do it out of NJ.

Hope it helps.

Eyal,

The two largest concentrations of bio-pharma comapnies in the US are located in New Jersey and Boston. New Jersey is more big pharma (Pfizer, BMS, Sanofi-Aventis, etc.) and Boston more biotech (Biogen, Genzyme, etc.).

Other than that you can find some companies in Phily (GSK, Wyeth and some medical devices), and some in California (the only big ones are Genentech in SF and Amgen in LA). In terms of small companies, San Diego, Boston and Seatlle would be good places.

Hope this helps,

Hi Moshe,

In case you're interested in Tuck let me know – it's a very "family-friendly" school and location, and Dartmouth has an Ivy-League biology and medical schools which are highly valued. There's actually an Israeli finishing his post-doc in biology here, so you could talk with him if you're interested.

The school itself is very strong in both strategy and banking, so I think you'll be covered from that perspective as well.

Good luck!

As someone who was admitted to Tuck last year at the January round, and generally had a much better 2nd round than a 1st round, I would watch out of getting too excited from this article and from the "1st round madness" in general.

The bottom line is – submit your application as soon as you're ready, and try hard not to do that after January. Everything in the middle is so random, that trying to make sense of it will be a total waste of time.

More importantly – congratulations for all the Israeli applicants admitted to Tuck!

Hi Uri,

My name is Dudy and I'm a first-year student at Tuck.

Tuck has opened something like a special program for students interested in Healthcare, including a designated professor who leads that. I think you'll find good opportunities in this field, to name a few:

1. Genentech alone hired about 7 interns out of about 20 people interested in Healthcare this summer at Tuck. For students with background like yourself, it should be fairly reasonable to get a job in this field.

2. Just by chance, I met today both with the CEO of Bristol-Myers-Squibb (who's a Tuck alum) and had lunch with the CEO of a biotech start-up. So you'll definitely have a lot of exposure if you'll want it.

As for you wife, she will have to get her visa from the immigration, but I can tell you that the school here really helps partners out. Feel free to contact myself and other Tuck graduates to tell you about that.

Hope this help, and good luck.

Hi everyone,

My name is Dudy and I'm a 1st year student at Tuck. I wanted to make sure everyone noticed that the Wall Street Journal has published its new ranking, and is the 2nd major business magazine (after Forbes) this year to place Tuck business school as the #1 school in the world.

For whoever of you that isn't familiar with how different business magazines build their rating, I'll mention that Forbes bases its decision on "return on investment" and Wall Street Journal focuses on recruiters' opinions.

If someone is still trying to figure out what schools to apply to, I would strongly recommend taking a look at Tuck – it is a very unique and strong school.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions at my email:

Good luck!

Hi,

In case someone hasn't noticed, Forbes has published its updated B-Schools ranking. The 1st place this time goes to Tuck Business School at Dartmouth:

http://www.forbes.com/home/careers/2005/08/16/best-business-schools-list-cz_05mba_land.html

If anyone has any questions about this school, which is for some reason less known in Israel, he's welcome to ask me – my name is Dudy and I will start the program in about a week from today – or see the "Ask Nahshon" forum on this website.

Enjoy your weekend,

Tuck visit:

The school is something else than the other universities I visited, I guess it's one of those "love it or hate it" places. I, personally, loved it.

It's located in a small town in New Hampshire – amazing surroundings, very quiet town. Most of the people in the town are students – I found out that Darthmouth is considered one of the top universities in the US, which attracts a lot of students there.

The business program, like the entire town, is relatively very small (about 240 students per class). You can feel the "home" environment from the start – everyone knows everyone, and very warm and friendly people in general (including the school staff who seems to be going to great efforts to help the students). You have to take that into consideration, and the school care a lot if you're the kind of person who will fit in this kind of environment.

The program is based on a "general management" idea, meaning they're trying to provide a very wide academic basis, and not rushing into concentrations. Sadly I haven't had the chance to visit a class, since all the students were off to see a hockey game between the school's team and some Canadian school (apperantly hockey is very big there, so if you're a hockey player by any chance, I would recommend to mention it in the application..).

2 Israelies corrently studying in Tuck, and both were kind enough to help me throughout the entire process. Again – thank you very very much Nahshon and Elnor for the assistance!!

Chicago visit:

I visited the new campus (I'm sure all the Chicago applicants got to know it writing their essays..) – very impressing, great facilities for classes, clubs, job searches etc.

The school takes great pride in it's strong faculty. During the recent election, for example, they had a debate between 2 professors – one was Bush's economic consultant and the other was Kerry's… I attended one class, in microeconomics: the class was taught in a "case study" way, and was very impressing – the professor created a very good atmosphere while really getting the most out of students.

I also visited a session of the Investment Management Club – I was surprised to see how effective it was: the students actually ran a serious amount of money, while 1st years have a great opportunity of presenting a "pitch" in front of the club and get constructive feedback that can help them in future interviews.

Other than that I can just say that I have met most of the Israeli students there, and they were all incredibly helpful. I would like to use this opportunity to thank all of them, and especially Moshe Sarfaty who has been nothing less of amazing, really.
