How so you graduate from a mid-tier school with an undergraduate business degree in 2009, then get into Harvard Business School in a couple years later, without having anything noteworthy as a job in between?

Probably through Harvard's 2+2 program, which accepted its first class in 2009. The 2+2 program permits undergrads to apply to HBS. If accepted, you agree to work 2 years then go to HBS for 2 years.
I've had a couple of friends that were accepted in 2009, and they speculated the 2+2 program had as high as a 30% acceptance rate in its inaugural year since it wasn't well publicized.
That's my guess.
Wow, that sounds like a really bad innovation for HBS; the other way in used to require 2-3 years of high-end consulting work, or 4+ years of normal work.
They're bigger than most business schools already (900 students in the class?). Why are they doing this?
