The application deadline is Sunday, October 20. Review of applications will begin in September.
We will begin making decisions by mid-September and will notify applicants of our decisions on a rolling basis. Please note that due to space limitations, we are not able to accommodate everyone who would like to attend. Acceptance to the conference is not a reflection of your candidacy for Tuck.
Our admissions directors are committed to ensuring every application is reviewed thoroughly, so please be patient with us as we try to accommodate all applicants. If you have a special circumstance, or if you are curious about the status of your application, please feel free to reach out via email to tuck.wib.conference@dartmouth.edu.
Yes! We know everyone has different schedules and timetables, but we believe exploring an MBA is worthwhile for everyone. The weekend is meant to provide you with information on life at business school, as well as introduce you to members of the Tuck community who can share their experiences and help you explore your future professional opportunities.
We are not offering admissions interviews during the weekend.
There is no fee to participate in the conference. Meals and accommodations (in shared rooms) will be provided by Tuck during the conference.
Tuck will provide accommodations for conference participants in shared hotel rooms (2 participants per room). If you do not wish to share a hotel room with another attendee, you may arrange for and cover your own lodging. Our area lodging page will provide a list of inns and hotels in Hanover and in the surrounding towns in both Vermont and New Hampshire.
The attire for the weekend is business casual. Plan to dress appropriately for the events Friday and Saturday but bring additional clothes for small group activities Saturday afternoon (e.g., yoga, dance, and hikes) as well as a social event Saturday night. Also, Fall in the Upper Valley can get cold! Bring the appropriate footwear and layers to stay warm when traveling outside.
Tuck’s Byrne Hall and Raether Hall will be home to the majority of the weekend’s events. Check-in will be in Stell Hall. While some walking between event rooms will be required, this will just give a glimpse into life as a future Tuckie!
Transportation between Tuck and the Tuck-sponsored hotels will be provided throughout the weekend.
Tuck will charter, covering the cost of, a roundtrip bus from Boston, MA < > Hanover, NH. You will be responsible for arranging and paying for any travel outside of the Tuck-sponsored charter bus. Please note there will be a registration process for the charter bus, space on the charter bus will be allocated on a first come, first served basis, and additional details are forthcoming.
If you wish to arrange/pay for your own travel, we highly encourage attendees to arrive via Dartmouth Coach or personal vehicle. While other options exist in the Upper Valley, rideshare services are extremely limited (and often unavailable), so these are your two most reliable options. Please see the details that follow to learn more.
Dartmouth Coach: Boston is Hanover’s most versatile access point. The Dartmouth Coach bus service connects both Boston Logan Airport and Boston South Station (interstate buses, Amtrak, and MBTA) with 10 daily routes. The Dartmouth Coach drops you off in downtown Hanover, along the Dartmouth College Green, and is just a short walk to Tuck. Dartmouth Coach also offers service between Hanover and New York City.
Personal Vehicle: Hanover is a short two-hour drive from Boston or five-hour drive from New York City. We will have parking available for those who drive to Hanover.
Local Airport or Train (less preferred): There is also the Lebanon, New Hampshire airport (immediately south of Hanover) which flies a few flights per day to White Plains, New York and Boston. Please note that these are very small aircraft with perhaps a dozen seats. In addition, Amtrak serves White River Junction, Vermont (across the Connecticut River from Hanover). If choosing these options, you may encounter significant wait times for car services/rideshare to get to/from Tuck as these services are extremely limited in our area. Consider reaching out to local car services ahead of time to arrange transportation in advance.
There are a few other airports (Burlington, Vermont; Manchester, New Hampshire; Hartford, Connecticut) that will bring you closer to Hanover, in case you are trying to compare flight costs, but you would need to rent a car.
Our directions page will provide information on travelling by car, plane, bus, or train.
