Hi, thanks so much for bringing this up, so my question is how we should select the schools we should apply for, I mean how to narrow the list down, that is my major concern right now

Again, thanks, your answer to this is highly appreciated!

To find a "fit" B-school needs to do a  lot of research. It is definitely a personalized thing that should be based on the "match score" of your interest, background, career goal, personality, etc. with the features of the school, such as strongest points, culture,  location, alumni, and so on...

Visit the info sessions, get information from multiple resources: talk to the admission officer, the alumni, and people who know about the school, search on line, visit the school, etc.

Thanks for sharing your experience. What is the most important factor to apply for GSB successfully?

The application is a package, a holistic one. The school also evaluates the applicants from different perspectives. But basically, you have to demonstrate your strong potential to be successful in the future. The school is selecting such people and training them to an upper level. Every B-school will offer all it can do to make its students to fulfill their dream, to success in the future and to contribute to the society. It's a win-win solution both to the students and the school.

Actually B-schools are the most successful and sustainable enterprises in the world: they select high-quality materials and turn them into high-end products, thus bring the enterprises fame and profits: the brand name, the social impact, and the donations...

As for Stanford GSB, leadership, superior ability  to handle complex issues, strong motivation and passion for success, clear career goal, excellent academic foundation, integrity, curiosity, creativity, social impact, etc. In short, EQ, IQ, WQ, etc.


These characters seem abstract, but you need to demonstrate  such qualities in you in your application package, say, the application form, your essays, and your recommendations.

Jenny,很好，我是一个有宝宝的妈妈，我想知道你认为Stanford的学习强度有可能允许一个既想在事业上取得成功又想在学习期间仍能培养宝宝的妈咪兼顾两者么？我非常渴望能够获得在M7学习的机会，但也坚持把宝宝带在身边的想法，不知有否可能？比如我父母申请签证帮我过去看孩子，我每天也能有2小时左右照顾他们？

That will be very challenging for you to manage your time  . But some of my classmates have their children with them.  Your parents or SO who can help you are definitely needed.

Jenny, 在你申请时，你是如何展示你的出众经历和未来潜能的？在essay中还是resume里？

主要在Essay和additional infomation 中，不要小看additional info，因为没有题目限制，你想写什么就写什么。还有就是通过推荐人间接替你说话。 Resume就一页，只能表现大概。
