Initial registration for spring class visits and information sessions at the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) opened today, according to a post on the school’s MBA admissions blog.
Information sessions will begin on Monday, March 28th, and class visits will being on Thursday, April 7th. And for the first time this quarter, all MBA classes will be held in Stanford GSB’s new home, the Knight Management Center.
In his post, Admissions Coordinator Joe Sicora underscored that while the GSB encourages prospective applicants to visit as means of getting a real feel for the school and its culture, campus visits are neither required nor expected. “Our events offer a chance to experience a day at the GSB, but do not result in preferential treatment in the admission process,” he wrote.
For those who are able to schedule a visit to campus, information sessions take place on Mondays and Fridays at 11:45 a.m. Representatives from the MBA Admissions Office will provide a detailed overview of the MBA program and the admissions process and field questions from attendees as part of this 75-minute session. Registration is required. Check the Stanford GSB registration system for event availability.
Class visits, meanwhile, can be scheduled on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from April 7th through May 24th. Due to high demand, the GSB asks that only those who are seriously considering applying to the Stanford MBA Program participate in the class visit program. Requests for specific classes cannot be accommodated, and applicants are limited to one visit per quarter.
Be advised that class visit spaces fill quickly. According to Sicora, the GSB accommodated about 150 class visitors in the recent winter quarter. Advance registration is required, and the admissions office recommends reserving a space a few weeks in advance using the online registration system.
