I'm adjacent to this world but not in it so might be a little off, but here's what I have been hearing.  HBS lets in a ton of kids (HLS does too) compared to other top business schools, even more than Wharton which is huge and pulls significantly from the Penn med and law schools, among other dual degree candidates.  You'll see a lot of underemployed HLS grads compared to some of the more practical T10s because of this; they are letting in a lot of kids from alternative tracks.  Those kids can get a mediocre position at a reputable place in a bull market, but they'll struggle in this market.

But does this actually matter?  The brilliant ones (whether academically, attractiveness or charisma) are fine, the top jobs are still there for them, and the other people are rich, so they will do great.  However, the people who thought they could 'make it' without actually being brilliant or rich?  Reality is here for them.  If you don't have 'it,' you're not going to 'make it' in the sense that climbers want.[/quote]
