Tuck's unique, close-knit culture of affection and collaboration cultivates such unusual loyalty that more than 70% of alumni last year reached into their pockets to support the school, more than any other B-school in the world. (In contrast, annual alumni giving at the top 20 business schools average less than 20%).

Tuck's highly supportive alumni network helped to get 92% of this year's class job offers by graduation -- tops among the best B-schools in a still turbulent economy.

Dean Paul Danos takes little credit for the remarkable cohesion among alumni through the years. "You can't invent the love affair people have with Tuck," he says. "That whole cultural, social network of helping each other you can't get easily, and it's always been a part of the school's tradition."

Percentage of MBAs with job offers at graduation: 92%
