About the Interview

After we have reviewed your written application, we may invite you to interview. Our interviews are designed to help us learn more about you and for you to learn more about Stanford GSB. All of our interviews are done virtually with an MSx admissions officer. During your interview, we will ask you questions that enable us to evaluate your candidacy. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions in order to assess whether the Stanford MSx Program is right for you. Interviews last approximately 45 minutes and are conducted in English.

The interview complements your written application with essential insights for our evaluation process. We require all candidates to interview before receiving an offer of admission. While being invited to interview is a positive sign, it does not guarantee your admission. Interviews are by invitation only and will not be granted without a valid test score submitted to Stanford.

Interview Process

We recommend business attire for your interview.
