I called HBS admissions today to try and ascertain the best path I should take in the coming years to place me at a competitive advantage as an applicant. The gentlemen I spoke to was very friendly, however, could not offer me any specific advice. He answered a few of my program specific questions, mostly about the 2+2 Program, but other than that it was a very brief call.
He did, however, let me know that the "prestige" factor of one's undergraduate school is not viewed that highly in comparison to other criteria, such as leadership (this one is greatly important). In so many words he said that it is far more important to be actively involved in leadership and community activities then it is to pursue high test scores and grades. I found that rather interesting.
Right now I am struggling with whether or not I should drop $116,500 on my undergraduate education at Columbia or less then $40,000 at UC Davis (these amounts include tuition and living expenses). Looking at the numbers it seems Davis is the smart choice.

Hi, if you happen to be wanting to earn more money on-line you should check out an excellent new guide to making your own Info Products. Most folks start with affiliate marketing, however this system is so much easier and more profitable (and I find it rather more rewarding as well, creating my very own products). The best factor is, rather than attempting to persuade people to purchase another person's product, this guide reveals how to make money by selling people exactly what they need! It's so much simpler, and a lot more profitable! Click right here to find out more ... but act fast, because they're closing the doors on the 16th August to make sure that the strategies do not get over-saturated
