That's correct. The person I know told me that in Harvard he had to try his best to involve in the discussion. If he did not have chance to speak out in two days, he would feel very neverous. It was a highly competitive environment. Some people like it, some don;t.
I also heard that some people don't like Kellogg's teamwork style. They said even some small projects require team work and just didn't like this approach.
QUESTION: Why are you trying to recruit younger students? DEAN KIM CLARK : We became convinced about a year ago that we had created a self-fulfilling prophecy, where because we emphasized getting work experience, people started trying to anticipate what our decision framework was. And so they started getting a little more experience, and we started admitting more experienced students, and that sort of fed on itself. What was happening was we were making it even more and more expensive to come to business school. The incentives work exactly the wrong way, because the most valued people are exactly the ones we want here. The cost to them of coming here gets higher as time goes on, and so we were worried that we were in fact pricing ourselves out of the market. And we started hearing things, where a lot of companies have decided that they are going to try and keep their very best people from going to business school. So if we make them wait longer and longer, we play into that kind of game, and we were worried that we were going to start losing the very best people who would not ever go to business school. Then there's the second fact that the MBA program is not designed to be a mid-career program. It's for people at the early stage of their development rather than people who are 35. So we're talking about going from a median age of entry of about 28 to something like 25.
