Stanford Business School Review

For as long as I can remember education was always a big thing in my household even when I was younger. My mother always told me that I was required to not only go to college but graduate school and that it was my responsibility to attend one of the best schools in the nation. With this being the case, I worked very hard all through college to obtain a decent GPA and I was able to obtain a 3.5 average just before I graduated in 2005. Since I was lucky enough to have decent grades I decided that what I really wanted out of life was to go into business for myself instead of making money for someone else. Since I had a high GPA I decided to apply to Stanford Business School since I met all of their requirements.

The Stanford Business School requires at least a 3.0 GPA and I had a 3.5 after finishing my BA degree. They also require a BA degree and three letters of recommendation in order to apply for the program. This was not a problem for me because I was able to obtain letters from former employers that were willing to vouch for me as a person. The letters essentially said that I worked hard and that I was always on time and willing to do my part to succeed in school and in life. I wanted to attend Stanford Business School because they are one of the top business schools in the world today and I was very excited when I was accepted in the Fall of 2005. I was told by the admissions office that I was excepted into Stanford Business School because of my positive letters in addition to my experience with working at the Salvation Army and this showed them I had leadership abilities. I attended the MBA program at Stanford Business School and I graduated in the Spring of 2007. Because of my MBA degree I was able to obtain a job from Hewlett-Packard working directly with the president of the company. The Stanford Business School allowed me to get my foot in the door of the business world and made this employment possible. Neil Malhotra and Ken Shotts were my favorite professors because they made their Political Economy classes very easy and I was able to earn my 30 credits easily though working in small groups and that is what I enjoyed about the Stanford Business School.
