Stanford: Re-apply After Rejection?
Some of you may have already received disappointing news following your interview with Stanford. It is very disappointing to make it as far as the interview with Stanford and then fail to gain admission. But, the good news is that you got so far in the admissions process! Landing the interview is an achievement. If you have your heart set on Stanford, it can be worth trying again.
This year, for example, one of our Stanford reapplicants went from rejection-following-interview last year to admissions with a $140,000+ scholarship from Stanford! Success as a reapplicant is possible.
If you intend to reapply, it is important that you first determine what areas of your profile are soft spots that need to be strengthened. It could be that the major factor in your rejection was your performance in the admissions interview. If that is the case, in the time you have before reapplying, you should put yourself in environments that make you speak up in a collaborative setting or practice your speaking skills through other activities such as participating in Toastmasters.
You should also review your prior Stanford application carefully, or secure a formal Ding Analysis, to determine in which areas you should improve. At times, your essays could have been more refined. Perhaps the essay content was off entirely, failing to convey how much impact you have brought through your past achievements (professional, academic, extracurricular) and how you can bring the same sort of impact to Stanford. Perhaps you did not come across as entrepreneurial or as someone who loves innovation. Maybe the admissions committee did not see your short-term or long-term goals as achievable. Perhaps your extracurricular activities should be strengthened. Whatever the shortcomings, once you identify the shortcomings, you should use the time you have before reapplying to improve in those areas.
It is very hard to gain admission to Stanford GSB because its class sizes are so small and its bar for demonstrated academic success and leadership achievement is so high. But, if you have good fundamental credentials, it can be worth trying again.
