GSB MBA Application Essays
"We read the essays to get to know you as a person and to learn about the
ideas and interests that motivate you. We want to hear your genuine voice
throughout the essays that you write and this is the time to think
carefully about your values, your passions, your hopes and dreams. In your
short answer responses, we learn more about the experiences that have
shaped your attitudes, behaviors, and aspirations. Truly, the most
impressive essays are those that do not begin with the goal of impressing
us."
Essay Length

You have your own story to tell, so please allocate the 1,800 words
among all of the essays in the way that is most effective for you. We

Tell us in
your own words who you really are. Answer essay questions 1, 2, and two
of the four options for essay 3.
Essay
1: What matters most to you, and why?
Guidelines:
The best examples of Essay 1 reflect the process of self-examination
that you have undertaken to write them. They give us a vivid and genuine
image of who you are—and they also convey how you became the person you
are. They do not focus merely on what you've done or accomplished.
Instead, they share with us the values, experiences, and lessons that
have shaped your perspectives. They are written from the heart and
address not only a person, situation, or event, but also how that
person, situation, or event has influenced your life.
Essay
2: What are your career aspirations? What do you need to learn at
Stanford to achieve them?
Guidelines:
Use this essay to explain your view of your future, not to repeat
accomplishments from your past. You should address three distinct
topics: your career aspirations, the role of an MBA education in
achieving those aspirations and your rationale for earning that MBA at
Stanford, in particular. The best examples of Essay 2 express your
passions or focused interests; explain why you have decided to pursue
graduate education in management; and demonstrate your desire to take
advantage of the opportunities that are distinctive to the Stanford MBA
Program.
Essay 3: Short Essays Options 1-4
Answer two of the four questions below. Tell us not only what you did but
also how you did it. What was the outcome? How did people respond? Only
describe experiences that have occurred during the last three years.
Option A: Tell us about a time when you built or developed a team whose
performance exceeded expectations.
Option B: Tell us about a time when you made a lasting impact on your
organization.
Option C: Tell us about a time when you generated support from others for
an idea or initiative.
Option D: Tell us about a time when you went beyond what was defined,
established, or expected.
