In 2007, the Tuck School was ranked first among MBA programs nationally by The Wall Street Journal[46] and Forbes,[47] second internationally by The Economist (2010),[48] seventh by U.S. News & World Report (2008),[49] eighth by the Financial Times (2008),[50] and eleventh (in 2006) by Bloomberg BusinessWeek.[9] Tuck claims that it places second when these six rankings are averaged. Additionally, in international ranking analyses in which all the different ranking bodies are combined, Tuck's median score consistently places it as one of the top three business schools if not the top business school in the world. [51] It is also a member of the Global Business School Network. In the 2010 QS Global 200 Business Schools Report[52] Tuck School of Business was indexed as the #14 business school in North America.
Applicants to the Tuck School come from many different backgrounds and institutions and are evaluated based on undergraduate academic performance, Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) standardized test scores, essays, recommendations, written applications, and interviews, if applicable. Prior work and real-world experience and success is also considered in evaluating potential candidates. [3][53] 2,276 applicants applied for approximately 240 slots in the class of 2009. The average GMAT score of students was 710, and the average undergraduate grade point average (GPA) of American students was 3.4.[54]

[edit] Student profile
Tuck students, known as "Tuckies", typically number about 500 students in two classes, with international students making up about 34% of the student body.[4][19][20] The school has growing percentages of women (34%) and minorities (19%). In the past as has been the case with many business schools the student body makeup has been criticized as a weakness by students who desire more diversity in the school.[4][21][55] Tuck has tried to address these shortcomings by offering additional scholarships to minority applicants and by promoting such programs as the annual Tuck Diversity Conference and participation in the Forté Foundation for women in business.[20][56][57]
Like many other business schools, Tuck encourages its students to have post-undergraduate work experience before applying to the MBA program.[58][59] The average incoming student has five years of full-time work experience, and the average student age is 28, ranging from 25 to 32 yearstrading education
