I am Indonesian, 21 years old. Is there a maximum age to enroll in undergraduate programs at Stanford University? I really hope you answer my question because I don't have any acquaintances who studied there. Thank you🙏🏻

Hi Pooja, I’d like to connect with you via calendly but I see you currently have no slots available from now up until December. I have sent you a message in LinkedIn, requesting 20min if you have any. I’m a prospective student, female South African chartered accountant applying to the SGSB. Please let me know if you have any possible availability?

I’ve been a stutterer all my life and I’ve had intense life experiences that has shaped my personality. Hoping to assimilate everything in my Stanford essay. Your videos give a great compass and a foundation to build upon. Do you review essays and provide feedback? Also, a GMAT video will be very valuable for your audience.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. The 36 page brainstorm doc was a great mental model. I am just curious. How often do you update that? I know it’s a very personal question so fine if you don’t want to answer. My use case to watch this video was I was preparing to write an essay for the Stanford LEAD business program and I was wondering if my old grad school essay is something I can still leverage. It was not a 36 page doc for me but still the essay was a good summary of me as a person.

Hi Pooja, Thanks for sharing such an insightful video! I'm a recent BTech graduate with a strong interest in product management. After graduation, I took some time for self-reflection and discovered a passion for building user-centric products that drive user satisfaction. I'm also hoping to pursue an MBA at Stanford GSB in the future to further develop my skills. I'd love to connect with you to learn more about potential internship opportunities at your company.

Hi Pooja! This was great. I was quite intrigued how well you interlinked your personal and professional life in your essays. Question for you- Do you feel the Lauder Dual Degree Progam with a focus on South Asia will be helpful for a student from India? As I am largely aware about most of the nuances this region brings to the table.

How did you afford to pay for the tuition? The student loan only provides $20,500 every two semesters which is ~30k per year.
@poojabhardwaj17 ай бұрын
A longer video but students get scholarships from school, finance it with loans and have savings. You can also work while in the program but you are expected to be a full-time student.

Is that very compulsory to have one year or more years of experience to get into mba program in ivy colleges or can get in by internship experience of months
@poojabhardwaj17 ай бұрын
I think this depends on the country. In the US, MBAs typically have at least two years of work experience, likely more. You can get into 2+2 MBA programs where you get a future spot in a MBA program right out of college, with no full-time work experience at the time you apply.
