Do you want to get into Harvard?!

Came across this article on the Web.... it's too incredulous to be true! This is the story of a guy who earned $8 per hour as a UPS Package Handler and got accepted into Harvard Business School, inspite of having mediocre grades and a so-called very average background.

How? Well, this guy apparently focused all his energies on thinking why he belonged at HBS and not otherwise, and communicated the same in his application. He apparently demonstrated in his application how he had a great 'leadership trajectory' - the key to getting into Harvard. Apparently, he got in without an interview and was in the top 2% of all applicants.

Of course, now he wants to help other people, and has created this toolkit called How to Get into Harvard Busines School Toolkit (!) to help applicants create winning applications.

Amazing article... can make anyone want to apply to Harvard!

Anyway, here is the URL in case anyone wants to read up the full story about this guy: http://www.howtogetintohbs.com/home.php
