Admissions Criteria

Student Body

Stanford GSB has a reputation as a place where the students are happy – and for good reason. Not only do they receive a top-flight business education, but they enjoy a park-like campus featuring swaying palm trees and views of San Francisco Bay, a remarkably low student-to-faculty ratio, a collegial class and alumni network, a responsive administration, and more.

Stanford differs from other business schools in several ways apart from its West Coast location. It’s a small school. Entering classes number under 400 students. All of those students are in the same program, as Stanford does not offer part-time or executive MBA options. This smaller class size (and the fact that all first-year students live on campus) makes for much interaction among students and between students and faculty. That means that Stanford is no place for wallflowers. Students are expected to take an active part in classes and program activities, and Stanford alumni are famous for their active network.

Stanford is more diverse than many business schools are. About a third of its students are women, and almost half are identified as either minority or international students. Hispanic Business named it the best b-school pick for Hispanic students in 2005.

The one aspect of Stanford GSB that students voiced dissatisfaction with in recent years was career services. The tech downturn of the late 90’s contributed to disappointing job placements for some time. However, Stanford has done much to reenergize its career services, and there no longer seem to be major complaints in that regard.
