Tuck students consult for local ski hill

By Zach Swiss | January 10, 2007

A consulting project that a team of students from the Tuck School of Business started last year changed business operations at Whaleback Mountain, a local ski venue, this winter. Scott Roman Tu '07 and his classmates evaluated the project and provided suggestions on how to improve Whaleback's business practices as part of their first-year and subsequent "Business Bridge" projects at Tuck. "We all like skiing and thought it was kind of cool to work at a local mountain," Roman said. "We came in and we worked with [Whaleback co-owner Evan Dybvig] and mapped out a game plan of what sorts of things we could do with him to help him out." Early on, the Tuck students researched other local ski mountains to learn about their methods of operation and sources of revenue. From this initial research, they learned what would and would not be successful for a local ski hill.

LSAT change reassures law school applicants

By Amita Kulkarni | January 8, 2007

Following a recent American Bar Association policy change, law schools will only report a student's highest LSAT score -- rather than an average of all scores -- to the ABA, changing the way many law school admissions offices evaluate applicants' scores. While top law schools like Stanford and the University of Chicago have moved to the standard of considering only the highest score when reviewing applications, some of the other top ranking law schools -- like Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and NYU -- have left their policies unchanged. A Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions survey of 170 law schools' admissions officers found that the new policy is quickly becoming accepted by law schools around the country.

College's eval. setup elbows out SA guide

By Amanda Cohen | January 8, 2007

Implemented during Summer term, the College's online system of course evaluations has seen approximately 80 percent of students completing the evaluations during the last two terms, Dean of Faculty Carol Folt said. The new system, which obliges students to either complete an evaluation or decline participation in order to view their grades, appears to have caused fewer students to participate in Student Assembly's online course evaluation guide, a service that provides detailed course information for students choosing classes. The new college course evaluations are standardized across departments and largely replaced paper evaluations, which were designed by individual professors or departments and were completed in the classroom.
