What Matters Most To You, and Why?: Writing Stanford GSB Essays 

The Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) holds the title of being the world’s most discriminating MBA program. With an acceptance rate that hovers around 7%, the business school has the enviable position of curating a class of amazing stars. Yet, there is an unenviable side to this as well: so many of the GSB’s applicants are extraordinary; how can the GSB admissions committee determine which candidates are a cut above the rest? To help the decision-making process, the GSB relies in part on an essay question that has long stood the test of time: “What matters most to you, and why?” The GSB also asks why you are applying to Stanford. In this video, Gatehouse Admissions Founder Liza Weale gives her tips for writing your very best Stanford GSB essays.
