I've come across several articles which say that the top B-school (Harvard, Wharton, Stanford) mainly accept only a certain 'class' of students viz., Blue Chips and Vagabonds

Blue chips: Top undergrad education, top jobs
Vagabonds: Top undergrad education, unusually different jobs (peace corps, non profit etc.)

Also that there are only a few 'average joes'. I am not from a top undergrad college and I don't work in a Big-4. Does that mean my chances of getting into H/S/W are nil?

I thought B-schools see the quality of work you have done and your achievements throughout your life. Am I wrong?

Harvard, Stanford and Wharton are among the three most selective MBA schools in the world. Therefore, you need something to stand out. But if you have a high GMAT and GPA from a non-top-ranked undergraduate school and you have had remarkable career progress at a lesser known firm you might be competitive. But if everything is unremarkable then you should probably be applying to less competitive schools.

Good luck,
