Stanford GSB - Die Luft der Freiheit weht

General Management, Personalized Curriculum, Stategic Size & Collabrative Culture - 3 main features of Stanford GSB's MBA program with one of the lowest acceptance rate in the world. 4 energetic alumni showed up, ranging from a 96 graduate who's now in Citi, a 94 graduate Joe (ABC) who was also alumnus of West Point Military but now has his own investment firm in Singapore? a 05 graduate John local scholar or double scholar (Cornell's bachelor - MAS & Stanford's MBA - PM's office), a mainland Chinese 06 graduate forrest who just married his classmate who's a Temasek scholar last Sunday. Forrest Li is now working with MTV Networks Asia:-P Thanks to Joe's referral?

370 per year, now 24,000 alumni, 100+ chapters worldwide. It's obvious that Stanford is quite different from the rest besides its extreme comptetiveness in terms of admission. It's always on the innovative edge with one of the highest faculty / student ratio 1:6. But I guess what I appreciate most about it is the "soul-searching" essay question which is really inspiring: "What do you value most in life & Why?"

I'm not sure whether I'll apply this school, but it'll definitely be a very worthy try.

Die Luft der Freiheit weht (German for "The wind of freedom blows")!

P.S. just read an inspirational bio of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice @ Wikimedia
