With a 710 GMAT and 2 years analyst stint at a respected regional MM bank in an industry group think (Harris Williams/William Blair/Raymond James/BB&T) is it pointless to even try competing against the guys from BBs and mega-funds at the top MBA programs?

Student complains about the HBS party scene
A HBS student indulges in self-righteous whining about the "excessive" partying scene at HBS and the lack of an intellectual culture. Is this guy freaking kidding?
