Stanford GSB 2013 - Calling all Applicants

Does anyone know if an interviewer has only a resume with him, or a full application package?

Resume, provided by the candidate.

Live Essay Writing Workshop, presented by Admissionado

Sigh. The MBA Application essays. Who thought it was a good idea to ask people to write 2000 words before they even get INTO school? Turns out, it doesn’t matter, because someone did… and now you have to come up with the most compelling and memorable essays about leadership that you can. And then do it again for every school you apply to.

It’s not easy, but this upcoming event should help. Submit your MBA Application essay to have an opportunity to have it reviewed for free by the team at Admissionado. Three essays will be selected, and if you are one of the lucky ones, you will have the opportunity to go through your essay with Phillip Herring (admissions expert and CBS MBA) in a live session. You will need to be OK with sharing your essay with attendees (don’t worry – we’ll keep your name/private info out of it), and available and online at the time of the event to chat it up with Phillip. Even if you aren’t selected, listen in, because there will still be plenty of essay advice to go around.

Submit your essay to lauren@admissionado.com by Monday, December 3. You will find out if you are selected by Wednesday, December 5. Then join the live event on Thursday, December 6 at 6pm PST. Register Now [FREE!]

Anyone hear anything today I was kinda expecting a blast based on last years timing

Does anyone know whether HBS's new field program has impacted Stanford's application number?

guys，anyone knows any candidate fron europe（except Britain）getting the invites and when??

seems it went through interational first and then mainly US now, but Europe was all the way quiet, unless people are not active enough:(((

I've been wondering about that too... Maybe there's just not too many Europeans on this forum? At any rate, I am pretty sure that most invites did go out already, including to Europe (unfortunately).

It has been quiet for the last week, hearing no one getting an invite on this forum

Yeah... and since it's December now, unless people here early next week, chances are slim to none that more people will be invited. :/

There should be more blast right. I havnt heard of anyone getting one since monday

I am hanging the gloves on Stanford. Hopefully other schools come through. For some reason I always thought that HBS was harder to get in than Stanford. I know Stanford has a lower acceptance rate but i just thought it was due to small size more than anything.

What makes you say that Stanford is harder than HBS?

I don't think you can compare response rates from candidates between the two schools because they conduct the application process very differently.

I'm from Europe but haven't heard from them unfortunately.

Well, maybe that Stanford accepts half the percentage that Harvard does and still maintains a higher GPA and GMAT.....Easy enough.

I am planning to apply for R2 and need some inputs........what awards & honors do Indian students typically report ?

What awards have you earned/received since college? You should focus on crafting your own story in Stanford's (or any school's) application.

Also, I don't think anybody would have stats on awards/honors that Indian applicants report; neither would have we have that information for any other nationality's applicants.

Ah - okay. I thought you were saying this based only on response rates in the forum, which didn't quite add up for me. Agree on actual stats but I still wonder if that has to do with smaller class size. In either case - both are fantastic schools.
