HANOVER, N.H.—Every MBA student thinks he or she knows how to make money. Students at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth will have a chance to prove it as they take on Yale in the second round of CNBC's "Fast Money MBA Challenge," August 8 at 9 p.m. and 12 a.m. EST.
Billed as the "varsity sport of the financial mind," the new game show series features 32 current MBA students from the top eight business schools according to the 2007 U.S. News & World Report rankings. Tuck is represented by Mariana and Mark Garavaglia, Steve Kindred, and Jason Cantrell, along with backups Aristo Setiawidjaja and Alan Hsu. The contest follows a traditional bracket format with teams going head-to-head in categories that test their financial expertise. The winning team receives $200,000, awarded by TD Ameritrade, to be split among all team members. The prize money must be used for tuition, repayment of school loans, books, room and board, or other school related expenses.
The championship game airs August 22.
Founded in 1900, Tuck is the first graduate school of management in the country and consistently ranks among the top business schools worldwide. Tuck remains distinctive among the world's great business schools by combining human scale with global reach, rigorous coursework with experiences requiring teamwork, and valued traditions with innovation.
