At the age of 20 Buffett applied for admission to Harvard Business School, but was turned down. This disappointment turned out to be one of the greatest things to ever happen to Buffet, because of that situation he decided to enrolled at Columbia Business School after learning that Benjamin Graham and David Dodd, two well-known securities analysts, taught there.
