stanford gsb

very cool panel tonight. including 1 indian self-proclaimed geek who talked about stanford's footprint. covers 2/3 of the top 30 PE firms, and 75% according to capital, haha.

also interesting things: stanford will hand you a paycheck for the difference of your paycheck vs. avg mba during your summer internship if you end up doing nonprofit or entreprenuership.

one blond girl seemed very well put together. realized it's all about confidence, as well as the ability to speak with clarity. she didn't blink very much and had intelligence in her eyes.

also cool thing: mandatory global experience.

non profit program management certificate

HBS reception

Thursday, August 9, 2007

HBS reception at the American Express building

HBS – general management program (versus Wharton as finance)

Case method
• Habit of making decisions
• Courage to act under uncertainty
• Tests: what’s your plan of action more than depth of your analysis
• Way of thinking has become a habit (responding to lack of data and competing universities)

Upon getting in
• Commitment to giving – you need to give to classmates, give to take risks, give when you are an alumnus and get contacted by current students

Applying
• What is your story?
