Goldman Sachs to HBS pipeline?

I have an offer to be a first year analyst in a GS classic IBD group this summer. My ultimate goal is to go to HBS (come from top 5 ug), but I’ve read the bar for bankers is higher. Obviously plenty of people go GS —> HBS, but does anyone know for the average non hooked applicant what ones chances would be?

From what I've heard, I think your odds of getting into HBS would go up significantly if you went to a MF after GS versus a MM. Given that you're on a conventional track, schools like this can be picky and select the best of the best from the white male finance crowd. That being said, GS is a fantastic shop and should get you looks at any top business school.
