@nightbird407 Yes, I have seen this. They say they recruit from practically every college, but here is the dirty little secret. I have been analyzing their most recent class’s facebook page and it has a small spattering of “state schools” but a huge representation from the “prestigious private universities”. Not only that, a lot of the folks have very specific employers who don’t usually spread a very wide net when they recruit undergraduates. These employers mainly go to the top private Universities.

I want to believe that a good student from a state school who has a good academic record and decides to work for a typical fortune 500 firm for 4 years and then applies to Harvard MBA stands a good chance of getting in, but the data seems to suggest otherwise at least from this one class. Harvard seems to be cherry picking a certain kind of candidate for their MBA class
