I cannot speak to being accepted at Stanford. Obviously, one would have to ask a certain Eldrick Tont Woods what impact that fine institution had on his life, but I digress. If you're a shithead business type with shallow friends and a twin-Volvo outlook on life, then maybe the church that is HBS may provide you with the kind of social cred and justification that a spineless social-climber seeks, then being accepted there, or any other Ivy-league B-school program, may give you the unwarranted hard-on you seek. However, if you get off on eating peanut-butter sandwiches for weeks straight in a shared apartment in the Mission, while you write and rewrite code as you contemplate the benefits of listing suicide attempts on your CV under the heading "Recent Experience", then maybe bootstrapping a startup is something you should consider if your medical team has no objections. Again, undergrads are a dime a dozen, B-school schmucks are mainly followers of a established social paradigm and entrepreneurs are a collection of nuts, burnouts and unregimented losers who'll package their mother in a two-fer if it brought in more business.
