Harvard Business School

Categories: Education

Formerly the top business school in the country. It was the primo destination for the nation's best and brightest. But the university, acting risk averse and overly conservative, failed to embrace the speed at which technology was changing the business world. The result was that it fell behind "upstart" Stanford as sporting the top Acceptance-to-Offer rate in the country.

Harvard still rules in the average-speed-to-tell-anyone-they-meet-that-they-are-from-Harvard competition, however.
