Stanford08 taking questions

写What matters you most, 写一遍哭一遍，不知道有没有人和我一样。哭的是自己20多年来，走得多么的不容易啊，真的是一个很好的机会审视了自己一番，即使不能被stanford看上，也无所谓了。不过真的很喜欢Stanford，觉得和自己的人生信条很吻合，喜欢Stanford那种哲学高度，如果说Wharton是精明的商人，Kellogg是长袖善舞的儒商，Michigan是实务者，Chicago是思想家，那么Stanford就是一呼百应的伟人。Go for Stanford!!!

to tuxiaoyang师兄，正如你说的，用心去写，我今天真的是用心去写了，也入另一位师兄所说，Stanford的文章如行云流水，一气呵成。不过，这种用心，真的是可遇不可求，所谓的用心，也就是在某一点，因为某件事的触发，而感情向奔流的河水，落堤而下。

haha, I haven't started the writing yet. I have the ambition and am confident to write good stories in my essay. At least I know I wrote a ~15 pages letter to a girl even before we ever met to introduce myself, and I have the ring to prove that I was successful ...

As to the concern of the age, I am not too worried about it ... my passion is burning inside my heart, and it's not difficult to show it since I can barely hide it at all :-)

To TUXIAOYANG,

Thanks for your posts. I just listened all the podcasts from Stanford websites regarding the admissions, and came up this seemingly crazy idea on selecting a recommender:

I have known someone during the last 10+ years: went to the same schools in China and US, work for the same company, joint-start a few businesses, and spend all the rest of time together. This person has been always my most open critics and strongest supporter. I don't think there is any other person who is more qualified to give me a true, honest evaluation (as asked by Stanford). Yes, you guess it right, she is my bette half. But I plan to ask her to write a reference letter for me tomorrow --- only for Standford though because it might be the only school to appreciate this crazy idea!

Any comments?

女朋友写推荐信？是满crazy的，不过我倒是很欣赏Stanford不拘一格降人才的风格，我猜也就是这样才会有第三封推荐信。

Lancome130,

Even closer than GF but we learned most about each other after marriage, and still learning ... :-)

She was shocked when I told her this morning

Haha, Good luck to you, hope to see you in US and your lovely half. Probably I can have my Mom written a Recommendation letter for me. Then she will complain a lot about me and then i will fail for sure.

You never know :-) Your mom may well surprise you ... I am sure the adcom will cry all day long because of the enormous love from your mom's letter, and after that, they send you a letter saying " sorry Lancome130, you are too good for Stanford..." Now you will FT to death!! haha

Here was what I said to my wife: Do you BELIEVE I am good for MBA? Do you BELIEVE I am good enough for Stanford? Do you BELIEVE Stanford will benefit from having me? If you DO, then all you need to do in the letter is to tell them WHY you believe so.

She knows enough of my bad stories to make me like Satan, and good stories for Jesus. It's up to her how to put them together to convince Stanford :-) I must confess I also have a selfish reason though: I consider this would be another memorable chapter in our lives, just like the unbelievable experience through the essay writing. As you said, a rare opportunity for a true reflection, and we are lucky enough to be able to do it at certain point of our life.(这种用心，真的是可遇不可求)

嗯，我稍微有点感觉why your half能够被你的love letter打动了。

看来申请Stanford，我还不够romantic
