The Love Life of MBAs
By BankersBall on Feb 21, 2008 in Girlfriend!, M.B.A.: means business, a**hole
Which top business schools have the best guy to girl ratio?
Most people choose an MBA program based on ranking, and then perhaps specialty. Others go for booty. Luckily BusinessWeek has taken a tally of the social life you can expect. The photos are probably the most telling thing. Like what was this person thinking? And is that a stock photo?
The best quote goes to the no-nonsense response from one guy at Kenan-Flagler: “It’s awesome at UNC because alcohol is so cheap.”
Where’s Harvard???
Selected excerpts and comments based on the photos below.
| Business School | Guy to Girl Ratio | Best Quote | Bball Impression |
| Chicago GSB | 1.9 to 1 | “Purely as a reflection of the 70-30 male-female ratio, your “good buddy” may end up going out with your ex-pretty soon after you break up!” | Geek squad |
| Darden (UVA) | 2.2 to 1 | “Darden is … not a commuter school. Because of this, the students … are very invested in developing strong friendships, which leads to a good dating scene as well.” | Where’s the diversity? |
| Kellogg | 1.9 to 1 | “when the GLMA (Gay and Lesbian Management Association) sponsors the Friday [social] hour, it is probably one of the most popular of the year” | Team Hug! Yawn |
| Columbia | 2 to 1 | “Daters try to stay below the radar—otherwise they risk ending up in The Bottom Line, our school’s newspaper.” | So Euro |
| Tuck | 1.9 to 1 | “The first and second years you really get to know each other quite well—there are about 245 people in each class…. There are tons of Tuckies marrying Tuckies.” | “Tuckies”? More like Great Gatsby wannabes |
| Stern | 1.4 to 1 | “Bar Blast (the weekly Thursday night Stern party at a different bar each week)—I met my husband there” | Alkies? |
| Stanford | 1.6 to 1 | “Good-looking people, accomplished, well-rounded candidates.” | “We’re perfect” |
| Duke | 1.8 to 1 | “It’s harder for first-years to date” | Free Cupcakes! |
