To illustrate that we get rather different applicants than the likes of Stanford and Harvard do for their business schools, my best student last year was a librarian. (In fact, she was the university librarian, being sponsored to do the MBA by the university, which is quite generous.)

We also had a few public sector high flyers (including a policewoman) and a rich and successful local businessman who was there not to score career points but to genuinely learn stuff. They were a pleasure to teach.
