Many schools apply an EBAY like course bidding structure when it comes to picking courses.   Basically, you get a number of points that you can use to bid on the classes you want to take.  Classes with famous professors or at really nice times go for hundreds of points.  Space is limited, so students invest time in laying out a bidding strategy.

People apply game theory.  They look at past bidding histories for a class, figure out what people are interested in taking, figure out what they are likely to bid, and then try to game the system.

With that said, people are pretty relaxed about talking about it.  I had not met a single person that had a problem discussing which courses he/she planned to bid on and many even revealed how many points they were going to throw.

Until I met THE MBA D-BAG.  He was wearing a tie. He had gelled spiky hair. He had his game face on. 

It turns out we both wanted to take the same class, so I asked how much he bid for it….his game face got all scrunched up, he looked at his watch “What time does bidding officially end? Two minutes ago, then it’s okay, I guess I don’t mind telling you how many points I bid.”

WTF.

D-BAG, Go Home!!

Really? Are you serious? Is bidding a state secret or something? The reaction blew my mind because really, personalities like that DO NOT belong at my school.

This guy sucks. What a d-bag.

I bet you ANYTHING he is trying to get into banking….I hope he gets an even bigger D-Bag for his first round of interviews. Hopefully D-Bag Sr will smack some sense into this kid.
