In Reply To: I seriously considered going to Tuck. It was the only other school I applied to. What attracted me was its reputation for being laid-back yet rigorous and its strong sense of community. However, I decided against it because of its slip in the rankings in recent years which made me worry about the long-term value of my MBA. However, I have friends there, and they are all very happy (much happier than my friends at Harvard). If you don't care about rankings and the isolated location, Tuck is a great education.
Message: Man, Tuck Sucks! I was there last year - the students are morons. They rarely leave the school grounds. They are proud of the legends about how long people stay inside the building without going out - record is 60 days!!! Now they have built several dorms, so you can stay inside for your two years of school. It is like a tucking prison.
