The Sydcast is all about intimate and informative conversations with fascinating people you may not know. Until now. Because everyone has a story.
Listen in as Syd talks to entrepreneurs, community leaders, professional athletes, politicians, academics, authors, musicians, and many more about who they are and how they got there.
Sydney Finkelstein is an award winning professor at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, and a best-selling author of Superbosses and 25 other books. He’s written for the Harvard Business Review, the BBC, Fortune, Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, and more academic journals than you’d care to know about. He spends his time asking questions, and sometimes, even answering them.
Who makes admissions decisions at the world’s elite universities? Luke Peña does. He is the Executive Director of Admissions and Financial Aid at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College.
Luke Peña’s life has been defined by education – whether during homeschooling in his younger years, watching his mom complete both college and medical school, or working in a variety of university admissions departments at Stanford and elsewhere. Luke understands what it takes to get into a top university b-school, and in this episode of TheSydCast he casts aside the opaque veil that is the Admissions process to explain what he looks for, why he looks for it, and what you can do to increase your odds of getting the call you’re dreaming of.
