Official First Day of School.

Math camp is officially over, we got through the mayhem of Orientation Week, and yesterday was the...

First official day Back-to-School.
Graduation Day = Sometime in June 2012.

I enjoy the reuse+recycle mentality of the school.
Was it a large sharpie that attacked the 2011 sign? 

Founded in 1900, oldest graduate school of business in the world.
One of six Ivy League business schools.
Heavy emphasis on tight-knit and residential character.
Tuck 2012 Class sits at 281. 
37% come with partners or families. 
63% are listed as single.
Average age of student is 27.
Age range is 25-34.

Jamie's birthday comes up in one month and 11 days.
Definitely makes for a more interesting position on that range.

No more playground time, Kanter.
Time to get down to business.

New backpack.

Obligatory in-front-of-school photo.
You can see the corner of the car window in the upper left hand corner.
Clearly someone was too lazy to get out of the car.
Or too in-her-pajamas as the case may have been.

If you haven't seen, I've been posting over at the Tuck Admissions Blog as part of my new job with admissions department. I'll ease into the job itself with a few weeks of part-time work, then full-time will begin at the early application deadline in October. Looking forward to it! I'm going to do my best to keep not cross-pollinate information, stories, or photos between the blogs. So, here are the links if you've missed them:
  • August 19th - Just arriving in Hanover, New Freaking Hampshire.
  • August 26th - Enjoying the landscape that is New Freaking Hampshire.
  • September 3rd - Starting to love the people we're living with in NFH.

Sarah said...

what % of those singletons are male? trying to weigh whether a visit to see my uncle/you would be worth it :)

Ryan and Katie said...

Not gonna lie...it looks like a cool school. And I love your admissions posts!

Leslie said...

Seriously, @sarah? We're not good enough for you anymore??
Um...maybe I can bribe you with a professor sloboda?

Thanks @kate!! I love you!

And @trish, I know right? It's like it hasn't been THAT long since he wore one for school...uh....

Jamie said...

Happy first day of school, Jamie! And more importantly, hopefully happy study group...

patrick has the same backpack in grey! but i don't think i could get him to pose with it.

and ... i didn't know you were also working in the office of admission!

The backpack is ABSOLUTELY worth it, since I have to lug around roughly 500 lbs each day. And the study group has been great so far (and hoping it stays that way).
Leslie has been tremendous about driving me around to class, from class and to/from study group at night.

Sarah said...

Oh Leslie. Leslie Leslie Leslie. You know I have mad love for the 3 of you! Just looking for additional incentive to get back there. Make sure Jamie doesn't befriend only married people :)

Unknown said...

Man oh man this post brings back a flood of memories! So cute, I think I even took a "first day of school" pic for Ben too! Jamie is just starting school and Ben is on his last semester...cant say I'm not glad to be on the latter end of the spectrum. Much luck Jamie!
