Diverse Perspectives
by Derrick Bolton, MBA 1998
Director of MBA Admissions and Assistant Dean
The three primary criteria for admission to the Stanford MBA Program are intellectual vitality, demonstrated leadership potential, and personal qualities and contributions.
I think (I hope!) you are fairly clear on what we mean by intellectual vitality and demonstrated leadership potential.
But personal qualities and contributions? What do we mean by that? Broadly, we mean that your individual perspectives and interests make a difference in the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) community.
Events of Particular Interest to US Minorities
At the Stanford Graduate School of Business, we look for diversity in the broadest possible terms, encompassing (but not limited to) educational and professional backgrounds, personal experiences and goals, culture, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and nationality.
Information Sessions
We offer information sessions that address the specific interests of people of color who are considering the Stanford MBA Program. Prospective candidates can learn more about the Stanford GSB from the perspective of minority MBA alumni.
These sessions are open, however, to all candidates—regardless of background.

- Gain insight into the admission process
Some highlights of this event include:
- MBA class immersion experience
