Six Steps to Acing Your Stanford GSB Interview
If you’ve made it to the interview stage at the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB), congratulations are in order.

Arguably more than any other program, Stanford looks for applicants who have formulated a worldview and understand who they are and what matters most to them. According to admissions officers, Stanford seeks out candidates who have “excelled by doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.”

As you prepare for the interview, focus on the life experiences, anecdotes, and answers that will showcase your strengths in six specific areas. Wondering just what those areas are?
