Hello to all R2 folks!
I guess that most of you are putting finishing touches on your essays and other parts of the application.
I wish you to make your best and to meet the deadlines!!!

I am applying in R2 as well. I know that after the 10th of January we will have at least 60 tough days in a waiting game.
I suppose it will be a good idea to practice together for the interview via skype during this time.
Feel free to write me in PM or directly in skype (idkksh)!

As forum stats there's just one applicant from India who got in to Stanford in R1. Calling s147 in the discussion.

Hi everyone
I am applying for R2 and needed advice.
There is an option to apply to both the programs (MBA and MSx) with the same application. I have 10yrs of work experience, but am more keen on the MBA program. Would using a common application damage my chances for the MBA program?
Thanks in advance.

congrats on getting in with a score of 610 on GMAT! I must imagine that your other parts of the application were stellar. Please share some of the insights and maybe your experience with the application process! I would love to hear it! :)

Hey mvictor , i didn't get any notification that i got a mention. i would have loved to help. please get in touch via pm next time.

For my application experience, I didn't get to use an admission consultant and my essay was about social impact. What helped was asking myself - why request for each of the information? - and how my answer will reinforce my overall goal.
