<p>I’m not Harvard tries to ‘mould’ its students into anything specific. What is that super to mean? There was (and still is, though probably to a lesser extent in the past few years) a tendency to send lots of grads into finance and management consulting, but that’s probably equally true at MIT.</p>
<p>As for your friend who took courses at the b-school, that’s completely separate from the college. A number of college grads do end up at the bschool later on, but there are plenty of students who hail from other undergraduate institutions…including…MIT.</p>
<p>I agree with a number of th comments above. Beyond a general (very high) level of curiosity, passion, and ambition, I really can’t think any meaningful generalization of H students.</p>
