Stanford GSB - Review from a recent grad

Experience during the program

As a recent alum, I can affirm that the GSB's reputation is well-earned. Highlights include:

- Tight-knit class of nice, down-to-earth, diverse students
- Strong brand with strong career opportunities
- Beautiful location and facilities
- Interesting coursework, particularly in 2nd year (more practitioners, niche electives, ability to enroll in courses in other Stanford departments, etc.)
- Relaxed culture (grade non-disclosure, no class Wednesdays, ample vacations/breaks)
- Significant travel/international experiences
- Strong focus on soft skills (Touchy Feely, presentation skills, etc.)
- Great exposure to CEOs/executives and leaders across industries (View from the Top, Executive Challenge, class speakers, etc.)
