I am self-funded and need the loan too. However, due to tax return procedures in Brazil, I applied only for the summer quarter yet.

How was the interview? When did you send the docs/forms?

I sent in my docs by Jan 15th, deadline of R2. Phone interviewed on 26th, have not heard decision yet. Guess either on waiting list or rejected.

I wouldn't worry too much yet...

The R1 folks had a mid-October deadline -- I had mine in around Oct 1. But didn't get my interview scheduled until mid-December. When I went to visit campus in late January, they said they had still only filled about 55% of the goal class size. So there are clearly folks that have yet to be accepted.

Good luck!!

yes I believe they are still filling some of the spots. I submitted my application beginning Jan, interviewed jan 31st and was told that half the class was yet to be filled. I only received my call a couple of weeks ago.....you should not be stressed as yet.

Dear all,
I need some advice and I am coming to you with some hope to get answers. I have been thinking of taking an eMBA for a while now, yet I was never conviced by the format of this type of program. I have discovered recentely the Stanford Sloan MS program and was wondering if my profile could fit.
I am 37, have 12 years experience in financial services industry (derivatives brokerage and prime clearing services for one of the world's leading company), 5 years as a global manager (across Asia, Europe and Americas). I have a successful track record with quick progression. I am from Morroco and live in Paris.
I will quit my job in a few months as I need to refocus on the path I want to follow and to be honest, I am very keen to set a venture. Entrepreneurship is really what I want.
Considering these elements, do you guys (i) that my profile could fit, and (ii) that not having a job at the time of subscription is prohibitive?
Many thanks in advance for your feedback.
C.

Hi there,
I think you have the right profile to apply! Right experience, an industry that is well represented in the class. And the fact that you want to start a new venture points to the GSB for sure!
My advise would be to still keep your job until you apply. Or you should have a really good reason why you quit, and explain what you are doing since you left! Giving it a shot at your own venture might be a compelling story! (and you'd learn so much doing it)

Totally agree with Cyril... Don't quit your job if you don't need to... Worst case, you could end up with no job and no school admittances... No need to do that to yourself.

I'm going to take a slightly different stance.

First, you certainly sound like a fit for the program, so apply.

Second, know that Stanford applauds risk taking, particularly when the intention is to drive change. So I don't think that quitting your job to work on a new venture will hurt you. That is what I did. In fact, I think that it would be difficult to interview as a candidate that doesn't enjoy their job and has a venture idea, but is unwilling to commit to it. If you are quitting just to take a sabbatical, that could be problematic (unless your going to do something really cool like climb everest).

One piece of advice - which is particularly important if you do decide to leave your job - I believe it is essential to schedule a campus/class visit and a face-to-face interview with the admissions staff. I did so and I feel like it help tremendously as it allowed me to explain my position and discuss my new venture. In fact, I don't believe I would have been admitted without the interview. Cyril is right, your industry experience is well represented. But, I would assume it is also one of the most competitive for admittance.

Good luck

I am planning on coming to SF this summer. In order to meet the admission staff, should I just call the number (on their internet site) or do you have a better suggestion?

Hi All,

I applied for Stanford MSx this year and got accepted for 2016 class. Now this is a decision time and time to figure out financial options as well. I have a couple of questions. I hope some of you, who are recent alumni, might be able to help.

1). Does anyone know what is the approximate breakup of self funded v/s employer sponsored in this program for current or previous years? I looked at class profile on school website but they do not have this detail.
2). Can anyone share if you have been able to take any financial aids apart from standard education loan for this program?
3). I have not been able to find any employment statistics for current or past years. I know this is a program for experienced leaders with diverse background and not all might be looking for a job after the program. But I am sure most of the self-funded students might be looking for a job. Can anyone share details regarding employment statistics or at least the major companies which have been more commonly hiring from Stanford MSx class especially in general management, consulting or technology management area?

Thanks!
