Can Poker Help Me Get Into B-School?

Falang · #1 04-10-2006, 10:04 AM

Branching off from this thread I started recently, I've put a lot of thought into going to grad school. I have the requisite GPA and Undergrad work to get into the top B-School's but I know they are all huge on work experience. What would be the chances of me framing poker in a positive light and getting into a top program (top being Stanford, Wharton, Harvard etc)?

Any tips at all or experiences with this would be appreciated.

Make the final table of WSOPME and donate winnings to charity. That'll get their attention.

No. Get a real job first.

It could happen, but I'd say you'd have a better talking the Bellagio into spreading NL 26-card stud.

But seriously, I'd highly doubt it. Even if you sat down with someone from their administration/admission counsel whatever and showed them proof of winnings and ect.
I know one thing they highly value is the team work and leadership experience you get on the job, hopefully you're not getting "team work" experience while playing.

are you sure you should be at a top school? you seem like someone who has poor ideas.
