If you’re applying to Stanford GSB this year, I’m hosting a free session this week on what Stanford is actually evaluating in “What matters most to you, and why?” and the “Why Stanford?” essay.

A lot of advice online focuses on sounding impressive or “authentic” in a very vague way. I’ll mostly be talking about:

• why strong applicants still miss the mark
• what Stanford tends to respond to psychologically
• weak vs strong essay directions
• and how Stanford’s culture differs from schools like HBS

For context, I’m a former MBA admissions director and work primarily with MBA applicants applying to M-7 schoold

Happy to answer questions live as well.

If you’re trying to figure out what actually works vs what just sounds good, this free live session might be useful. I’m breaking down how HBS really reads essays, what creates a strong narrative, and why some strong candidates still get rejected.

No fluff, just how essays are evaluated behind the scenes.
