Tips, Wisdom, Feelings shared by previous admits..

Congratulations to all the new admits! Can't wait to meet you in the fall! I've tried to answer some of your questions below:

pandaMan
So.....housing....for the R1 admits, have you already put down your deposit for housing?
There are lotteries for the various on campus housing options. None have occurred yet, so no one has put down their deposit (unless you choose to live off-campus, which isn't common in the first year).

EntMBA
Question for R1 admits, what's needed for the financial aid application?
Thanks :)
I had to complete a few forms for financial aid, and they included quite a lot of information -- far too much to list. Unfortunately, you will have to hold tight until you receive more information tomorrow!

Hey fellow classmates just admitted, hope you are all out celebrating!!

A couple of questions for people from R1 that have gone through this already. Just wondering if anybody could shed some light on what happens next?
How does the fact verification work? Do we need to provide telephone numbers?
When do we need to pay the deposit?
Woop!
I can't tell you the exact day you will need to pay the deposit by, but it will likely be some time in april shortly after admit weekend. The verification process happens automatically once you pay your deposit and authorize them to go ahead with the verification check.

Go out and celebrate everyone! Congrats again

Is anyone concerned about the impact the recent financial aid scandal will have on GSB’s reputation / brand? Is it something you are factoring in to your decision process?

Hey guys, so I am thinking of applying for the Stanford MBA deferred admission (for 2021 or 2022). Would like to know what you think of my chances of getting to the interview stage and getting an offer

I am from Montreal, Canada (23 year old white male)
Undergrad: Non-target US university (Economics & Finance)
GPA: 3.96/4.0 (top 1%)
Masters: Masters in Management at London Business School (LBS)
GMAT: 710 (49Q, 38V, 8IR, 5.0 AWA)
Work Experience: Investment banking analyst (M&A, ECM, DCM) in a top Canadian Bank (will start in July 2018) + working on my own startup (sharing economy, think Uber/Airbnb/Tinder)
Leadership: Captain of my NCAA tennis team in Florida, MVP for 2 years
EC: Professional tennis player for 7 years, ranked 668 in the world (played in over 40 different countries), represented Canada in the Junior Olympics in Singapore
Sponsorship from Adidas and Babolat
Post-MBA Goal: Venture Capital or Private Equity in a top US fund

In my essay, I plan to leverage my tennis experience and discuss everything I have learned from it (leadership, dedication, performing under pressure, time management, problem solving, interpersonal skills).

Any tips would be greatly appreciated, you can PM me :)

Thanks in advance!

Wow, first off, CONGRATULATIONS to all of you who are admitted.

This whole process is so challenging but you guys made it, and it must feel absolutely amazing!!

As you reflect back on your progress or journey, are there any helpful tips you can provide to future applicants? I am planning to apply round 1 and current studying for my GMAT.

What tips would you say worked for you (besides the GMAT score) in your application, what did you wish you knew going into the process that you know now?

Any insight shared would be greatly appreciated! :)
