Stanford Releases 2012-2013 Application Essay Topics!

The 2012-2013 Stanford GSB essay topics have been announced! This year’s essays are below, along with Stanford's own suggestions on how to address the topics:

Essay 1: What matters most to you, and why?
•The best examples of Essay 1 reflect the process of self-examination that you have undertaken to write them.
•They give us a vivid and genuine image of who you are—and they also convey how you became the person you are.
•They do not focus merely on what you’ve done or accomplished. Instead, they share with us the values, experiences, and lessons that have shaped your perspectives.
•They are written from the heart and address not only a person, situation, or event, but also how that person, situation, or event has influenced your life.

Essay 2: What do you want to do—REALLY—and why Stanford?
•Use this essay to explain your view of your future, not to repeat accomplishments from your past.
•You should address two distinct topics: your career aspirations and your rationale for earning your MBA at Stanford, in particular.
•The best examples of Essay 2 express your passions or focused interests, explain why you have decided to pursue graduate education in management, and demonstrate your desire to take advantage of the opportunities that are distinctive to the Stanford MBA Program.

Essay 3: Answer one of the three questions below. Tell us not only what you did but also how you did it. What was the outcome? How did people respond? Only describe experiences that have occurred during the last three years.

Option A: Tell us about a time in the last three years when you built or developed a team whose performance exceeded expectations.
Option B: Tell us about a time in the last three years when you identified and pursued an opportunity to improve an organization..
Option C: Tell us about a time in the last three years when you went beyond what was defined or established.

Applicants are allotted 1,600 for their entire set of essays. Stanford has provided specific recommendations as to how candidates should allocate these words:

Essay 1: 750 words
Essay 2: 450 words
Essay 3: 400 words

Best,
Kevin
