Make a Great Design - by Apple

Is there such a thing as being too smart for your own good?

Are society and organizations designed to work best for the mediocre? Are there any studies that correlate increasing IQ with better "life results", or do chances of "success"  worsen with increasing IQ (say beyond 130 or so)?

I have just finished high school. How do I build my profile to get into Harvard for an MBA, around 10 years from today?

HBS doesn't care about you. They care about building their brand. They want future leaders. The best way to get in is to dominate whatever field it is that you're passionate about. 

Barring that, they play the prestige game. It's a signaling mechanism for future success. HBS sources elite candidates with sterling resumes as part of their class, and they want to put yet another brand name on their resume. Their brand name. That way they can claim you as one of their successes. So your goal for the next 5-6 years should be to work for the right prestigious companies to convey that signal to them.
