The MBA programs in the Top 10 look fine, just the order seems a bit odd.

However, Businessweek was the original MBA guide, so they should know better than to allow data to move a program 17 spots in either direction from one survey to the next, especially #19 to #2. It would be more realistic if it was 17 spots starting from #650.

How can Tuck’s score rise from 44.3 in Learning to 92.3 in Learning in one short year?

What did Tuck do, fire the entire faculty and start all over a year ago?

This is precisely why I disregard the Forbes undergrad best colleges survey. While the idea to drop student inputs and score only outputs from the university sounded great in theory, Forbes’ wild swings even at the very top every year make it a meaningless survey to follow Enter college at #1 and graduate from the same college at #20. Reality cannot move that fast. USNWR does a much better job at not allowing individual inputs to skew the entire survey from year to year.
