Congrats. I graduated from HBS almost 5 years ago. Attending HBS was one of the best decisions in my life. Feel free to reach out (in this thread or over DM) with any questions.
HBS hopeful here. Just wondering what made HBS one of the best decisions in your life?
Apologies for the late reply - just catching up now.
HBS completely changed the trajectory of my career/life. I also made some really great, meaningful friendships.
Was it the brand name prestige & network that changed your life? Or the education?
The value of HBS is entirely about the people (network). The best part is that it continues to compound over time.
Brand name/prestige might be a factor - particularly for those without a "blue chip" background (e.g. Ivy league undergrad, Goldman/McKinsey-tier first job, etc.). It was not a factor for me.
The education (curriculum) itself had minimal impact on my life, but some of the relationships I developed with professors did (which really goes back to the first point about the people)
I have sent you a private message. I hope you can reply to that. Thanks.
People who need to be taught how to do business are a funny bunch to me. Good luck!
I don't talk to H/W plebs. GSB only.
HBS... evah been?
Congrats. I know a lot of friends who went to HBS and were really happy with their time there and the impact on their careers.
