> I think 30%+ of my class were foreigners.

Because foreign born people can't be rich?

What income percentiles are Harvard MBA students coming from?

Many of us weren't. You claimed MBAs are exclusively for rich kids. I provided data to refute that baseless claim. The point on how many foreigners there were is just a freebie.

I don't know about Harvard MBA students, I didn't go there. But you can go ahead and google each school's class profile. Maybe that info is out there.

That was not data, that was a guess about your class.

It wasn't a guess. It is real world data based on the class profile that, as I mentioned, is publicly available. I just don't want to dox myself.

your wording indicates it is a guess, giving a specific percentage wouldn't have doxed you

The plural of anecdote is not data.

That phrase stopped being witty ages ago. These days it's mostly a low effort comment.

I don't need a plurality of data to counter his claim that MBA's are "exclusively" for rich smart kids.

Having a second degree is a big bonus when it comes to visas - you now see people doing a BSA/BA then immediately a MBA for this reason.

Originally MBA's where for 30 year olds on a fast track at big companies.
