A Misrepresentation
By Teddy Rice | June 25, 2003To the Editor: I just read Kabir Sehgal's June 23 column entitled "On Dartmouth Branding, Part II" and was astounded by his misinformed view of how the Tuck School of Business is perceived by the world outside of Hanover. Perhaps Sehgal would benefit from leaving the Upper Valley, where he would see Tuck regarded as one of the pre-eminent schools for business management -- yes, even equivalent to those more "branded" competitors like Harvard and Wharton. Tuck's reputation thrives precisely because it has found the competitive niche that Sehgal finds wanting at "Seinfeld U." Tuck has an unrivaled ability to turn out decent, bright, team-oriented graduates who often outperform their Harvard and Wharton peers by being -- surprise -- fun to work with.
