Actually, he did go to the regular program at HBS, not an exec ed program. In those days, an undergraduate degree was not as common as it is today.

I have a buddy at HBS who is in the same section as the (in)famous PA to President Bush who got in without an undergrad.

<p>I still have severe doubts about this. But I'll tell you what. I'll give you guys the the benefit of the doubt. Why don't you give me their names (through email or PM if you're not comfortable doing so publicly), and I'll check the database to find out the real story? If I'm wrong, I'll come back here and say that I'm wrong. </p>

Actually, I was very surprised that they changed their admissions guidelines (from their website). Earlier in the year, I remember a newspaper wrote an article about a student who never went to college. Instead, he worked on the Bush campaign and gave many contributions. He may even have had low GMAT score (but I could be imagining this). Anyway, the admissions officer had a really hard time about letting him in but in the end, felt that working so closely with the President woud result in an experience few others in his class would have, and so he got in.

FYI I missed getting into Stanford, apparently by just a few applicants.
