summer business programs

<p>theres one at dartmouth, stanford, harvard, berkeley, probably a bunch more. </p>

<p>does anyone know any 1-2 week ones that are not too hard to get into ?</p>

<p>kind of a waste of money if you ask me...</p>

<p>i mean it's a way for a lot of the "big name" institutions to milk some money...</p>

<p>if you have aspirations to attend an elite b-school, then you are much better off getting an proper internship working somewhere.</p>

<p>put it this way:</p>

<p>Candidate A and B are exactly identical (both same schools, same GPA)</p>

<p>Candidate A went to the Harvard B-School summer program.
Candidate B interned at Microsoft for the summer.</p>

<p>If HBS had to choose between the two, then Candidate B gets into HBS. Period.</p>
