Did we not agree David or Dave makes his resume seem as if he is attending Wharton and Harvard. Yet we have now heard he does it through correspondence courses. So why would he write this review and does this have anything to do with the auto background you speak of?

The Wharton Elite, September 7, 2005
The trials and tribulations of several elite Wharton students are superbly described by Ms Ridgway in her captivating new book. Without question Wharton is one of the best business schools on the planet and for good reason. The Wharton curriculum is unbearable, by most human standards, but it's the countless finance, accounting and economic courses that keep you warm during the cold Philadelphia winters. The Running Of The Bulls is an insiders guide to the life of "super humans", better known as Whartonites, who never get the chance to experience college life as 20 year olds. Ms. Ridgway unveils how a 3.6 GPA is normal and one can't help but become baffled that these kids are willing to sacrifice sleepless nights (even weekends) studying to achieve a 3.8 GPA. Summer vacation for the Wharton elite is working 120 plus hours 7 days a week with little pay and certainly NO play time! The grueling Wharton curriculum is welcomed by several students for which Ms. Ridgway describes their optimism, aspirations and realizations during their life as a privileged intellectual. The end result is having your cake and eating it too. A wonderful story book!
