Chris & Tuck08China,

Tuck is famous for its attention to each individual student. Also the faculties are dedicated to teaching. But everything has two sides. I heard that due to lack of research compared with other schools, the school's curriculum is more traditional, or less related with the current trends.

How do you feel at Tuck in this regard? Hope you can share some experiences and thoughts. Thanks and happy holidays~~

As a Tuckie, I don't think our curriculum is outdated at all!  Besides all the tranditional courses that every b-school offers such as corporate finance, accounting, marketing & strategy, the school created many unique classes that capture current "trends".  For example, during the first year, we took a class called "Technology Strategy", which is not often seen in other schools.  This course was created because technology has become extremely important for businesses (not just IT companies) to enhance (or even just maintain) their competitive advantage.  We use a mix of new and old cases.  I personally like old cases because some of the basic things you learn from these cases never change and time also serves as a proof to their correctiveness, not to mention these cases have been studies by so many people that you get more out of them.  This semester I just took a class called "Managing Mergers and Acquisitions".  M&A is a very hot topic, especially when the economy is good and everyone wants to expand its business.  The prof. was one of the first ones that started research in this area (back in the days when M&A activities weren't as hot).  We learned about the most recent research/theories/frameworks in class and analyzed many most recent (past 12 months) M&A deals.  Who can say our curriculum is not "trendy"?

Besides, tuck curriculum includes projects on consulting or business plans development for real clients.  We use all the skills we learned here to apply to solve real world problems.  BTW, Tuck is very team-oriented.  All schools say it, but Tuck does it.  I got my job because I showed superior teamwork and team leadership skills to other top b-school candidates in a group case study interview evaluated by the company managers, and to be honest with you, I am probably just about average in terms of these skills at Tuck.  Why does Tuck place such a high emphasis on teamwork?  Because teamwork is the "trend"!  Because all companies want people with true team work and team leadership skills.  It's not just luck that Tuckies are most welcomed by recruiting companies among top b-school students. 

And finally, I don't believe you need to go out of your way to chase all the trends in the market place.  As long as you learn and really understand the basics, you will do great.  Just read all WSJ & BW if you have enough time after the endless cases, group projects, homeworks, conferences (such as one called "Business Sustainability Initiative" that just ended last week) and the almost daily social activities.

Hope this clarifies some of your concerns...I would also go back to the 1st article posted by Chris.  It talks about Tuck's curriculum and how it links to the real world.

刚刚接到纽约街上一家private equity的工作offer，漫长而煎熬的job searching总算告一段落。说来惭愧，虽然在CD上咋咋唬唬发了许多帖子，从T06到T09的许多同学们褒贬不一，但在找工作这方面我确确实实只能算loser。毕竟，我是塔克中国同学中最后一个拿到offer的。和其他牛牛同学比，我这个也只能算平均水平。只是自己对自己很满意：两年来学习上的痛苦折磨，六位数的还贷款压力，拖家带口的家庭重担，无数次被公司ding 掉的惨痛经历，多少回自信心濒临崩溃的边缘，一切的一切，随着这份offer 的到来，终于可以慢慢复归平静。

 

收到同学许多的祝贺，非常感动。还有一位师兄，第一时间给我打电话，说起当年我们07届刚进校的时候，我对大家说起：进了塔克，可以说一只脚已经跨入了华尔街，努把力，另一只脚也会跨进去的。席间的豪言壮语，何曾想过未来一年半载的努力竟会是如此辛酸，如此令人心力憔悴。今天，当梦想成真、凤凰涅磐的时候，我有理由为自己感到骄傲。

 

三分天注定，七分靠打拼，
                爱拼才会赢。10年国家机关公务员背景，在job searching的过程中慢慢暴露出不足。再怎么说，public and private sector 还是大大的不同。不管怎样，我坚持，坚持按照自己的既定选项，在自己能力所及的范围，一个环节一个环节地尽力做到最好。对那些有缘没分的公司，虽然当时会很不爽，现在看来也要感谢他们：没有他们，我不会走到今天，不会有这样的happy ending。没有那些个痛苦的ding，哪有今天offer的甜！

 

再过一个半月，我在塔克的两年学习生活就要结束了。窗外依然残雪铺地，不知名的黄褐色小鸟在雪地里热闹地蹦跳追逐。风，带来春天的气息。在即将踏上新的职业征程的时候，我对自己说：今天，我以塔克为荣；明天，塔克以我为荣。

Thanks a lot for your sharing!

The question was posted long long ago.....when I was making decisions...

I have learned a lot more about Tuck in these two months. And the more I learn, the more I love the school!
