E-mail from HBS '14 buddy
Poast new message in this thread

Ok. I'm going to get sh*t on REAL hard for making this thread but whatever. I just got an e-mail from a friend who just started HBS. I'm pasting the contents below verbatim, except for names of course.
"Sup Brady! It's great hearing from you. Hope chi-town is treating you well. But yeah, HBS just started, still going through orientation. Man, I'm having a f*cking blast so far. Tons of parties, people getting blasted every night. Of course once classes start, we will calm down just a little bit. Lol. But i've been going out to tons of spots in boston and meeting chicks left and right. You're right about the H-bomb. It's definitely powerful!
Half of my classmates are in relationships, but it's not going to last past black october. People are hooking up like rabbits already, and any long-distance relationship will not last. I have my eye on a few chicks; we'll see what unfolds.
You should join us for a trip once you're done with applications. We already have plans to go to brazil, vegas, miami, carribbean, europe. Pretty much wherever we want.
Anyways, gotta go. Let's keep in touch, and let me know if you need any help on mba essays. Best of luck, brah."

Date: December 18th, 2014 10:25 PM Author: very tactful insecure cuckoldry garrison Just playing devil's advocate here, but the last time I met Patrick face to face, it was at his apartment while he was in b-school (M7, obvi). Literally one of the nicest and most expensive apartments in the city, all-new construction, hardwood floors, 18 foot ceilings. One of those places with 24-hour staff and modern sculptures in the lobby.
When I walked in at 10 AM, the place looked like someone had driven a train through it. Green baize laid out for poker, cards everywhere, empty bottles of expensive liquor, shades drawn against the morning sun. The guy himself seemed like he'd had a rough night, but he still looked pretty buyside, considering. I don't recall specifically what the mess consisted of, but cigars and random discarded lingerie would not have looked out of place in the scene.
PLUS, I happen to know for a fact the dude traveled broadly and did pretty well with chicks while in school. Also before school. I'll spare you guys the details and just say that even I ( even I!) envied the shit he did. (I'm not blabbing, but we kinda run in similar circles; word gets around.) If he weren't such a nice guy, he'd probably come off as a douche-canoe of epic proportions just based on the facts of his life.
My point in saying this is not to kiss Patrick's ass, but to point out that business school is where some of the brightest/best twentysomethings in the world go to party. You can't argue that fact. As such, it is nothing like the way most people live -- not even most of the finance folks on this board. After a while it's easy (for me personally, at least) to forget that.
It is true, though, that b-school won't make you anything you weren't before. How can that be true if b-schoolers ball noticeably harder than others? Pretty simple -- selection bias. Most of the ones who get in have something in common. |

Ok - what the fuck possessed someone to write that?
All the dudes in my office (myself included) dress and act very casually - some to the point of ripped jeans and t shirt etc.
The image obsession is from sellside and rightfully so - If you took the dudes out of suits it would be people with a slide deck slinging pieces of paper (which are 80% of the time grossly overvalued) |
