HBS AND AGE JIHAD.

FROM HER MAJESTY’S BLOG. FIRST OFF, THANK YOU, YOUR MAJESTY, NOTHING LIKE GIVING THE PEOPLE THE FACTS AND LETTING THEM DRAW THEIR OWN CONCLUSIONS. WE AWAIT SIMILAR CHARTS FOR GPA AND GMAT SCORES. LIKE WHAT IS SO HARD ABOUT THAT? KELLOGG ACTUALLY USED TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR FOR GMATS, AND IT WAS VERY HELPFUL. I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE SAYING, “HEY, PUTZ, I GAVE YOU THIS, AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS ASK FOR MORE?” WELL, THAT IS  WHAT TRANSPARENCY DOES TO PEOPLE. MAKES ‘EM WANT MORE, LIKE FREEDOM. BUT P.S. THANKS AGAIN. I APPRECIATE IT, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

OK, WHAT WE GOT HERE IS 102 ACCEPTS FR. CLASS OF 2002 + PRIOR, AND MY GUESS IS, IF YOU TAKE OUT WEST POINT AND USNA AND USAFA  SERVICE ACADEMY GUYS (TYPICALLY 40 OR SO) AND OTHER MILITARY TYPES (ANOTHER 15-20) YOU COULD HAVE BASICALLY ~50 ACCEPTS WHO ARE 28+ [SERVICE ACADEMY GUYS COMMIT TO FIVE YEARS, IN THEORY IF YOU GRAD IN 2003, YOU WOULD DISCHARGE IN 2008 AND COULD HAVE APPLIED FOR SEPT 2008 INTAKE, SOMEONE IN MILITARY CHECK ME ON THIS]. THAT IS A PRETTY SLIM NUMBER. ONCE YOU GET TO 29, 30 AND OVER……………..MAN, YOU ARE TALKING LIKE 50 PEOPLE, SOME 20 OR SO OF WHOM COULD BE  MEDICAL DOCS OR PH.D’S. THE NUMBER OF NON-MILITARY, NON-PHD, NON-DOCS IS REALLLLLLLLLLLLY SMALL. BUT ALL THAT SAID, I GUESS IT DOES HAPPEN. MY GUESS IS, INTERNATIONALS, FOREIGN MILITARY W. REQ. SERVICE [ISRAEL, SINGAPORE, TAIWAN, SWITZERLAND, ETC. ] AND YES, MAYBE 4 INDIAN I.T. GUYS, SPREAD OUT ALL OVER GOD’S GREEN EARTH.

Here’s a breakdown of when the Class of 2010 graduated from college/university by class year. Remember, all directly admitted college seniors have the option to postpone matriculation in order to gain work experience.
