Got an email yesterday … the round 2 update ..

Quick noob clarification: There was a rule that Stanford GSB does not accept students who only have a 3-year-bachelors degree from India. Does this rule still exist? Is there any workarounds?

keynesfan , don’t think it’s a hard and fast rule even if it exists. There’s always a caveat that colleges consider such 3 yr degrees if candidate is able to demonstrate academic soundness/ overall fitment/ ability to perform at par

Oodles of them on ClearAdmit, just really rough for Indians

I think GSB is rough for everyone especially if you are above 30.

Yes it is for everyone but the acceptance rate for someone who is like a Native American woman is massively different than someone who was an Indian male. Yes age has something to do with it and that’s definitely part of it but citizenship and ethnicity far more.

question- does anyone know if what it says on your MyStanford MBA Dashboard has anything to do with what’s happening on the admissions side? My Dashboard still says 100% Finishing Touches. I saw somewhere on ClearAdmit that at some point it switches over to "In Review." Does 100% Finishing Touches mean that they haven’t looked at my application yet? Any insight would be appreciated!
