^^very interested as well (thoughts on Stanford dating)
Dang, gsb from EY? What’s your profile?
I went to grad school at Harvard (not HBS) but played a HBS club sport so went to many HBS social events. There were definitely quite a few pairings among HBS people I knew with other students that ended up becoming serious relationships but another advantage of many top business schools is that they are located in desirable cities that attract top talent. At the same time, the ambitious people in the program are free from much responsibility (no 60+ hour work weeks) so they have time and mental capacity to invest in social activities including dating that are not as easy while working. This talent pool paired with free time for the students is a significant part of why going to the right grad school is such a fun and memorable experience during which many, myself included, end up meeting their future spouses.

Be optimistic, definitely. But I kept finding myself in situations where I would meet someone and think hmmm maybe and then I get the ‘my girlfriend’ or ‘my fiancée’ bomb in the conversation. I just started feeling like a fool after awhile. Good luck to you. Perhaps it will be different
I severely underestimated how many guys were going to show up married or in serious relationships! Really shrinks the eligible guy pool way down.
Nothing notable at mine. Few people found anything serious, everyone ended up in different cities once it ended anyhow. Top 20 program if that means anything.
Yeah exactly, same here. I got to school single and left single. A few serious relationships came out of it but I was surprised at how many people were married/in serious relationships coming into school, numbers weren’t great to begin with. And the timing is tricky - you’re pretty much deciding where you’re going to be after graduation by ~fall of second year (based on timing of recruiting and job offers) so it has to be pretty serious early on if you’re going to make the decision to go to the same city after school
If you can’t find someone in the 4years of undergrad and 3+ years of professional life after school, why would school be any different?
Haha well played.
Regardless, I’m glad you’re not doing it primarily to find someone.
Nothing serious, but definitely casual banging
Met my fiancée at HBS. I'd say it was poor for most people, but a handful of us who knew what we were looking for.
only a handful of relationships (1-3) at my midsize program... probably not gonna happen in your school... maybe hanging out with people on treks (if we ever travel again)
All of my friends found serious relationships while we were at school except one, so it does happen
So wait....none of you poached the undergrads?!?!
Yea, ok I’ll remember that when we are 50 trying to sleep with 40 year olds; it’s an age of adulthood for a reason
Of my two roommates, one is now married and the other is engaged to people they met in b school. I can think of a few other marriages between classmates, but most of the single people just had a bunch of hookups
