Wharton is largely populated by entitled douchebags. Not entirely, but largely.

I was invited to a dinner once where a bunch of Whartonites made up the body of the group. They really thought they were the future gods of industry and knew everything about business (mind you they were playing on daddy's money). When the check came they suggested we play "Credit card roulette" to see who covered the bill.

I don't think my hearty "go fuck yourselves" was appreciated.

These are the same assholes whose arrogance helped crash the market.

As a former strategy consultant who decided not to go the MBA route because it's bullshit, I want to point out there are plenty of people who end up in these top MBA programs after working a few years in consulting or banking.

The family net worth does not come into the equation at all for most.

One of my former coworkers was an Indian guy who used to be homeless as a kid. Can't get much more NOT coming from money than that.

I don't see why you had to be so rude to them, just because customs in their circle are different to your own.

A simple "You go ahead, I'm just going to pay for my own" would have sufficed.

Who doesn't love spending other people's money?
