Selecting an Application Round

You may apply in any one of the three application rounds each year. You may apply only once per application year.

Do not rush your application, but there are some advantages to applying in either Round 1 or Round 2, including:

If you and your partner are both applying in the same year, we strongly encourage you to apply in the same round so that you will know if your partner has been admitted by the time you have to accept or decline your offer of admission.

If you are interested in deferred enrollment, you may apply in any round. Many defer-eligible applicants prefer Round 3.

Decision Notification

We will post your decision to your account on the notification date above for the round in which you applied. We will also send an email to the address used to create your application profile to notify you when your decision is available.

We do not accommodate requests for an early decision, or for decision information to be provided via phone or in person.

Essays

Please visit our website for additional guidance on writing your essays.

Required Essays
We request that you write two personal essays.

In each essay, we want to hear your genuine voice. Think carefully about your values, passions, aims, and dreams. There is no "right answer" to these questions - the best answer is the one that is truest for you.

Essay A: What matters most to you, and why?

For this essay, we would like you to reflect deeply and write from the heart. Once you've identified what matters most to you, help us understand why. You might consider, for example, what makes this so important to you? What people, insights, or experiences have shaped your perspectives?

Essay B: Why Stanford?

Describe your aspirations and how your Stanford GSB experience will help you realize them.

Length

Both essays combined may not exceed 1,050 words. We recommend up to 650 words for Essay A and up to 400 words for Essay B. We often find effective essays that are written in fewer words.

Editing Your Essays

Begin work on the essays early to give yourself time to reflect, write, and edit.

Feel free to ask friends or family members for feedback — especially about whether the tone and voice sound like you. Your family and friends know you better than anyone. If they think the essays do not capture who you are, what you believe, and what you aspire to do, then surely we will be unable to recognize what is distinctive about you.

Feedback vs. Coaching

There is a big difference between “feedback” and “coaching.” You cross that line when any part of the application (excluding the letters of reference) ceases to be exclusively yours in either thought or word.

Appropriate feedback occurs when others review your completed application — perhaps once or twice — and apprise you of omissions, errors, or inaccuracies that you later correct or address. After editing is complete, your thoughts, voice, and style remain intact. Inappropriate coaching occurs when you allow others to craft any part of your application for you and, as a result, your application or self-presentation is not authentic.

It is improper and a violation of the terms of this application process to have someone else write your essays. Such behavior will result in denial of your application or revocation of your admission.

Essay B是一篇标准的 Why School 文章，小伙伴们可以参考我们前面介绍的Why School 写作精析。今天我们着重聊聊 Essay A。

“对你来说最重要的是什么？为什么？”斯坦福对这个问题绝对的真爱，这一爱就是二十多年。也许你已经对这个问题不能再熟悉，可如此开放的问题还是让一批又一批申请人感到困惑。也许我们会纠结于斯坦福希望听到什么，在选择主题这一步就卡住了。

要想写好这篇文书，首先我们要了解斯坦福钟情于这个问题的原因。

斯坦福是一家同时兼具古典庄重与现代创新气质的学校，它有情怀、有梦想，将培养具有创造性、有原则和见识卓越的领导者作为自己的使命。而领导者一个重要的素质就是具有极强的自我认知力，能认识到什么对他们来说是重要的，并进一步不惜一切代价追求自己的目标。所以，招生官眼中没有一个“完美”的文书主题，他们更关注的是申请人如何构建故事。
