Applying to the Stanford MBA Program
The big question on every applicant’s mind is: What is Stanford GSB looking for?
We won’t give you a checklist to mark off, because there isn’t one. There is no typical Stanford MBA student, no ideal for applicants to chase. Our advice is to just focus on you and ensure that your application is a true reflection of yourself.
That being said, we do look at some general evaluation criteria: how you think, how you lead, and how you see the world. The way you express those qualities should be authentically your own.
As you work through your application, our admissions office is more than happy to answer any questions after you read through this information.
