Two years ago, an unexpectedly high number of acceptances at the Dartmouth College Tuck School of Business prompted officials to defer about 60 admits from the Class of 2006 into the Class of 2007. On Nov. 16, a posting on the BusinessWeek Online forum thread "Ask ClearAdmit", which predicted fierce competition in the later rounds of the application cycle, hinted at a similar scenario this year.

To further worry applicants, there were simultaneous forum discussions citing an increase in the school's early action application volume. Tuck Admissions Director Dawna Clarke, who says the uproar was based on incomplete information, eventually confirmed an increase in first-round applications in a written statement on the "Tuck Tuck Tuck!" thread on Nov. 22, but denied that the number of deferrals was larger than usual.
