A 2nd year's reflections on HBS

One of the most powerful things I've read recently; it literally sent chills down my spine. This soon-to-be HBS grad pens an eloquent summary of his HBS experience. I'm sure this applies to top b-schools in general and echoes what all the alums have told me: it truly is a transformational once-in-a-lifetime experience.

There has to be something we can do about this. Either all of this is legit, in which case someone should really get this dude help, or this has turned into a tired and obnoxious joke. Either way its getting really really ridiculous.

If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses - Henry Ford
 

Wow... I think this is the point where I go out and grab a bottle off Jim Beam and start drinking instead of beer because it's the only way I'll get the taste of Kool-Aid out of my mouth.

 

It was an interesting read, but it seemed to me like it was a stream of hollow, trumped up vagaries that were his attempt at reaffirming self-worth and making him more popular/memorable on campus as people graduate.

Brady, this is old. Seek help.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.

I know Jake pretty well, and he's a really authentic guy - his reflection actually resonated pretty well with my experience at the school as well. In any case, most HBS students don't actually read the Harbus.

Then I stand corrected.

Brady, please detach your mouth from HBS' cock once and for all.

This shit is the exact same thing that anyone who enjoyed their educational experience would write about their alma mater. "It's the people that really make this place great, blah blah blah".
