ESSAYS

Please answer both Essay A and Essay B. Double-space your essays and be sure to include your name and the essay title. The length of your responses is up to you. You should feel free to take the space you need to answer the questions fully; most applicants find that the equivalent of three to seven typed, double-spaced pages per essay is appropriate. (The online application is limited to 20 pages for each essay; if necessary please go to page and use the "Additional Information" section.)

ESSAY A:

What matters most to you, and why?

ESSAY B:

Why do you wish to earn an MBA degree, particularly at the Stanford Graduate School of Business? How will the type of academic experience offered at the Stanford GSB help you achieve your short-term and long-term goals? (Note: The online application is limited to 20 pages. If necessary, please go to page and use the "Additional Information" section. Double-space your essay and be sure to include your name and the essay title.)
