Best program for soft skills

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by membership [?]

This review is for Stanford

Program Full Time MBA

Class of 2017

Experience during the program

GSB is an amazing school but is best suited for those that are self starters and willing to carve their own path. There are so many amazing opportunities hat it can be overwhelming if you don’t have some self motivated direction. This doesn’t mean that you have to go in knowing exactly what you want to do, but it helps to have some idea of what makes you excited to pursue. GSB will help you explore whatever this aspect is with a strong focus on developing your interpersonal skills. I came out as a better person overall, not just a better business person. Also, the people are truly diverse and put themselves all in for the experience.

After having a not so great initial consultation with the service suggested by my current company, I reached out to SBC on a work friend’s recommendation. I have to say I am very happy with my results - I am officially a dual admit at both Harvard and Stanford!

I really love their system which is both structured and personalized. The initial 30 min assessment was very helpful. Esther Magna matched me up with Meredith Shields as my consultant and I couldn't have been happier. Meredith was extremely responsive and really pushed me to get the most out of my essays. She helped me present my story in the right way for each school. Her interview prep was also spot on for HBS. She even helped calm my nerves so that I didn't sweat the small stuff throughout the process. I highly recommend both SBC and Meredith in particular!
