The "Why Stanford" essay is surprisingly complex. My clients often times struggle more with this essay than the infamous "What Matters Most and Why." While it's not hard to list out reasons why Stanford would be great, it is much more difficult to help AdComm visualize you on campus, so that they can see why you need Stanford and why Stanford needs you. This class will help you craft an essay that is hyper-specific to your unique interests, goals, and gaps. While it is specifically focused on Stanford GSB, a lot of this content will still be relevant for similar essays for other top schools.

Nate has helped clients get into these schools:
I had 2 goals in business school: to start a company and to help prospective applicants feel comfortable and confident applying to business school. At the GSB, I worked as an Admissions Ambassador, doing 1on1 coffee chats, group sessions, admit weekends, leadership days, and more with applicants from all over the world. Leading Dream Big Lead Boldly (DBLB), an event that demystifies the business school experience for prospective applicants who identify as Black, is the work in business school that I'm most proud of and that brought me the most joy. I've spent countless hours supporting the people that I've met through these programs. Now that I have graduated, I want to continue to share what I've learned from working with Admissions and from hearing so many amazing stories from people like you.
