HBS quote on WSO

Pretty sure it's a Brady4MVP quote and you see it around because it's in at least one poster's signature.

That's Brady4MVP. He no longer posts on this website [at least not with that username]. He was a successful prop trader in Chicago and had an absolute obsession with HBS. That quote was probably the most extreme example of the obsession. He also claimed that b-school was easily the most glorious, life-changing, best two years of your life. His topics often hit the front page and turned into massive flame wars. Look them up, probably the most entertaining topics on WSO. To this day I'm still not sure if he was serious or just the best troll I've ever seen.

Where did brady4mvp end up going to business school? HBS?

He was rejected from HBS, last we heard.

Didn't he end up going to Wharton or something...? Last I read he is doing pretty well.

Has anyone here actually met Brady at any of the WSO events? His threads are both hilarious and very sad at the same time.

I've met him in person - he's actually really easy to get along with. A bit assertive with his opinions, but knows his stuff.

Oh wow so he isn't a troll after all. Well, I hope he eventually gets admitted or gets over this HBS mania.

streetwannabe

Uh, yes he does?

Brady could have been a web campaign run by HBS admins.

Thanks guys. I always wonder where that quote came from. I looked at some of the old threads and they are pretty funny. Hope the guy got in or at least got interviewed.

You guys need to get a life and stop wondering about Brady4MVP. He's doing very well for himself right now and am quite happy with his life.

I don't know whether the word "am" was intentional or a slip, but either way, it's pretty funny.

You work at IMC? Chicago?

And why does a prop trader care about business school?

1. preftige
2. the bitches
3. partying like an undergrad
4. the "network"
5. so many bitches up in here

Those are terrible reasons.

Okay, so Brady exists in real life, but a lot of evidence points to mbavsmfin being brady. Has anyone been in the same room with both these people?

You're a semipro dancer? You should quit your job, and one year you will be like her.

But since your're semi-pro I expect you take no more than six months,

He was loitering on the gradforums a while back. This was him - http://forum.thegradcafe.com/user/99499-revolution/

If anyone gets a chance, read through his posts on here - http://forum.thegradcafe.com/topic/35557-sais-appl...

Suffice to say, I'm sure he's a decent guy in person but he's a tool online.

That thread is nuts even by brady standards.

Synopsis: Everyone is stoked about being accepted to SAIS, Brady moans about how he got in with a scholarship but their job placement sucks, people get pissed at him for raining on their parade, Brady then goes off on prestige-whoring rampage about 'transformational experience' of top MBA programs and access to hot women, now SAIS admits are really pissed and one threatens to tell SAIS about his ranting so that the 'morals clause' of his scholarship is in violation and therefore null, so then illiniprogramer makes a guest appearance to defend Brady against the blackmailer...you can't make this shit up

Appreciate that synopsis.

Something about summaries makes me feel really productive and good.

Weird. My post was deleted.

No way would I quit my job to be a dancer. In terms of lifetime, most dancers are over and out by 30. If you're talking something like ballet, I'm already nearing retirement.

Brady has friends in powerful places...just not the HBS admissions office.

LOL, great catch.

Btw OP, that quote is easily top 5 quotes on this entire website. Someone should really make a meme series about Brady, mad swagger, transformational experiences, bunny rabbits, etc.

Karen Cheng is awesome, I love her. Right now I'd say I'm at her day 136 level, though hiphop is not my genre of practice.

It is gay. That's why only girls do PR, didn't you know?

What no Hip-Hop ?!?!?!. You can at least twerk though right?
