  • Stanford GSB is the dream school for many people. If you are curious about or interested in applying, I hope this video can get you closer to your dream.
    I was the only admit to GSB from Hong Kong in 2017 and Stanford definitely was a critical stepping stone in my career. I am going to not only share what I wrote exactly in my Stanford MBA essay but also what I believe are the 3 key lessons that worked for me! Good luck with your applications!

    Thank you for this! I've been struggling hard figuring out what makes me unique since all the essays I've read so far involve people who have done these amazing things like starting non-profits, traveling the world helping under privileged communities, etc. It's refreshing to see an example that doesnt make me feel like applying to Stanford seems impossible. Thank you!

    How did you afford to pay for the tuition? The student loan only provides $20,500 every two semesters which is ~30k per year.

    Hii mam,I'm a student currently pursuing my second bachelors in a humanities.
    I'm also planning to do an MBA from top 10 US b.schools. But I wonder my low GPA in 1st undergrad might hurt my chances.
    So can I just hide my 1st degree and only mention 2nd undergrad in my mba application.
    Is it safe to hide certain educational information from the admission committee & what can happen if committee find it after I get an admitted.
    I know it's bit amature but still shouldn't it be on me to put my best on the table
