Transcript
Do students of Harvard go to Harvard just so they can say they went to Harvard? No. At Harvard Business School, the answer is yes. While the undergraduates seem to be more understated using the classic, no, no. I go to a small school in Cambridge. The students of HBS do the exact opposite. Letting you know that they go to HBS before you've even had the chance to say hi. So although I intended to ask the students my question while being a guest speaker on campus, I already knew the answer before getting the chance to ask.
