为什么HBS那么青睐Mck 的人？

To aniv: haha,我也不觉得HBS和leadership之间有什么必然的关系。情结到不至于，只是想要一个brand name而已，就像想要钱和女人一样,很多人也想要。哈哈，容我笑话兄台一句，兄台志向未必太小了吧。要是真的想立志做点什么和HBS有关的，那我就选捐钱把HBS改称自己的名字，就像最近Chicago的B-school改名成了Booth

真这样的话，上了半天学，周围还都是背景差不多的，赶上内部培训啦，也的确挺没劲的。本来留听说06年mck找了很多人，好像也有一些08年就跳去finance了，不过还是挺夸张的。

I just need a benchmark here....

Going to b-school is an investment for career. When it comes to making an investment, it's important to understand the risk/reward profile.

Time is not the only benchmark you need to consider. Efficiency is. So are many other metrics such as hardcore numbers and softer skills, professional background, looks/voice/charm, connection to school by work/education/marriage/blood...

Maybe you could work out a model that combines all these variables, then you are making a huge contribution to all b-school applicants around the world: They just need to plug in their numbers and "BOOM!" there's the result! No more guessing games, or sleepless nights or heated debates.

To wwwzz:

Time will be the key differentiating factor here, given the factor that bankers are generally on par with applicants from other backgrounds in those perspectives you mentioned, if not better.

I don't do modeling just for fun or trying to save the world. I ONLY do modeling for a living. For sth that's impossible to model, I would rather spend my time reading GQ.

hbs不是以humble著称吧

banker,consultant外的人看不明白

banker,consultant内的人喜欢argue

hbs出来的人懂得了humble

为什么年轻时候都学不会心平气和呢

Interesting thread. I am a management consultant as well and just got my HBS R2 interview invite. I've no idea how much the brand of my firm and my WE helped in getting the interview but the one thing that I am sure about is that when I was reading my HBS essays for one last time before submitting, I didn't feel them any worse than those in <65 Successful Harvard Business School Application Essays>. I would only ask a question like LZ's if I am sure that my essays and interviews are both  PERFECT.

HBS 81/82毕业做到BANKING  SENIOR EXECUTIVES的人是比较多的, 但是不觉得他们从BANKING 收获是你所说的这些东西. 当然可能对某些人来说, 赚钱稍微多点会自我感觉良好些. 一个人的价值如果还需要靠此来体现可能有些狭隘.

前面有人说的很清楚了, 其实大部分人经历了这两年更知道谦卑, 这种眼界的扩展可能真的是其他学校可能不太会比HBS有优势的地方,见得多的自然明白财富和经历对于你的意义. 世界太大, 每个人都渺小, 还是踏踏实实走稳每一步, 不要把自己太当回事情了.

WISH YOU ALL THE BEST WITH YOUR APPLICATION!

不知道算不算，mckinsey ASO (incl. JKT, SIN and KL)的BA总共没有几个，这次ASO就进了5个，他们很得意啊。当我跟他们说GC进了9个，他们全傻了，迟到嘴里的排骨都调到盘子里面了。
