Stanford GSB - Office Hours with Alumni
Get an inside perspective on Stanford’s Graduate School of Business with two Stanford GSB alumni (Missy P. & Ben L., both Class of ‘21) who’ve gone on to start their own businesses after graduation.
As experienced MBA coaches, they’ve also developed a nuanced understanding on how to land you a place at the world’s most sought-after business school. During this session, Ben & Missy will offer their advice on how to stand out, craft your narrative, and build a holistic application for the MBA admissions process.
Ben and Missy can offer targeted advice on essays, recommendations, resumes, interview prep and more. Join this free event to ask whatever questions you have, and potentially pair up with one of them for longer-term coaching together. If you’re considering applying either for the traditional or deferred MBA, this session is one you won’t want to miss.
