Judging from some data I stumbled on recently, the answer would seem to be yes, or at least MBAs seem to think so. The data is from PayScale, an outfit that collects pay information directly from individuals on interactive tools you sometimes see on various web sites. The PayScale tool asks for a lot of information, including the individual's own assessment of how dedicated they are to work. Some 2,300 MBAs have answered this question, and most of them described themselves as "4-star, overachiever/constantly stellar) or "5-star, walk on water." A much smaller number gave themselves three or fewer stars.  Take a look at the table at: http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Degree=Master_of_Business_Administration_(MBA)/Tallies/show_all

I guess it's hard to expect modesty from anyone who spends a small fortune on their education, but are two out of three MBAs really above-average in any sense of the word?  It's an interesting question.
