not at all... if it were an attractive female.

Seriously you people on here make me want to skip the GMAT for the gym LOL

Absolutely. If you're smart you'll do just that.

Smart isn't a standardized test score, its knowing how to maneuver your way through the world. And a nice little ass, a toned body, and some bite-worthy B's will facilitate plenty of maneuvering.

 

Dude, bankers aren't aliens, they're normal people who react to things in just the same way as anyone else. How would you react? Be yourself, stop worrying about impressing the wonderful bankers and just say what you want to say.

In the immortal words of Ferris Bueller, "You can't respect someone who kisses your ass. It just doesn't work."

Well said.

Why is it then when anyone gets an offer at a BB, they suddenly feel so inadequate that they feel they have to change everything about themselves. For a supposedly intelligent group of people, we are some of the most easily manipulated, and will do anything so long as someone labels it prestige and shakes our hand.

I've got far more time for the people who stop trying to impress me and just enjoy being themselves, making money, and doing what they do; be it banking, cutting hair, serving wine, or building bridges.
