Hey,
I have seen this quote all over the forums and just wondering where it came from:
"The HBS guys have MAD SWAGGER. They frequently wear their class jackets to boston bars, strutting and acting like they own the joint. They just ooze success, confidence, swagger, basically attributes of alpha males."
Thanks

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.
Uh, yes he does?
oh he was serious.. VERY serious
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.
Oh wow so he isn't a troll after all. Well, I hope he eventually gets admitted or gets over this HBS mania.
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.
selling that
I don't know whether the word "am" was intentional or a slip, but either way, it's pretty funny.

wot?
You work at IMC? Chicago?
And why does a prop trader care about business school?
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?
Yes but they were the same person
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,
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
Oh. Sounds gay.
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.
It is gay. That's why only girls do PR, didn't you know?For ballet, 25+ is ancient.
I don't know a single straight guy who works at major PR/advertising firm such as leo burnett or deutsch.
Brady has friends in powerful places...just not the HBS admissions office.
Lol. Love your screen name and avatar.
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.
What no Hip-Hop ?!?!?!. You can at least twerk though right?
