Big difference in student quality between HBS/Stanford and the rest?

A friend at HBS was saying that he felt the biggest difference between HBS (stanford would fall in this category as well) and the rest of the top schools is the amazing quality of the students. Not so much academically, but their work experience, life experience, accomplishments, background, all dwarf those of other schools.

He visited the schools he got into for their orientation for accepted students. And based on his interaction, he saw a very noticeable difference between HBS and the rest.

What’s with all the “HBS is miles ahead of everyone else” threads on this site? It is getting very pathetic, old, and it is not true.

Stop licking HBS' balls. I went to Wharton undergrad and HBS. There is almost no difference between HBS, Wharton, and Stanford at the grad level. Only dumbasses like you, who will probably never get into HWS, think there is. Grow up. Perhaps, I hope, after you have been in the industry for a while, you will realize how dumb you sound right now.

My advice: use some Vaseline while your friend gores your asshole, it makes entry that much easier.

Edit:

I just checked out your post history, it turns out that you are a bigger loser than I thought. You're the one who has been spamming this site with this "HBS is miles ahead of everyone else" bullshit.

He posted on the the following threads: Crazy HBS and Stanford rejections, Harvard vs. Stanford MBA - if you could choose?, Firms that only recruit at HBS, and now this thread all in the past two weeks.

Damn, get a life. No matter how much you jack it, your cum is not going to turn crimson.

Lol. damm, that last line about vaseline is a classic and should be enshrined in the WSO hall of fame.

i don't want to give any credibility to the OP since he's clearly a HBS troll, BUT i do think HBS gets a different caliber of students than places like chicago, columbia, kellogg, tuck. I agree though that the difference between HBS, Stanford, and Wharton, is negligible.

If it does turn crimson, then: A. You've jacked it way to much B. You need to see a doctor pronto

quantum ..the amazing quality of the students. Not so much academically, but their work experience, life experience, accomplishments, background, all dwarf those of other schools.

You forgot to mention the quality of materials used building these students. Most of them were built right here in America, whereas lesser b-schools tend to have more students made in china, a clear sign of poorer quality, durability and lesser commitment to the glory that is American capitalism.

You forgot to mention lead.
