色々質問があるし、海外MBA留学に関して日本人の入学者のプロフィールを色々拝見したが、私は既に５歳程度出願時の年齢が高い。MBAというより他の修士号の方が社会人経験が長いので、適している状況になっている
以下の修士号の方が合っている気がしてきた
the Stanford MSx (Master of Science in Management) one year masters program
以下の質問に回答することで自己を表現していくことになる
提出する前に、スージー社長がエッセイを見たいと依頼があった
スージー氏の親友のダニエルはINSEADやHarvardで学んでいたので、相談にのってもらうの
Question:
Think about times you've created a positive impact, whether in professional, extracurricular, academic, or other settings. What was your impact? What made it significant to you or to others?
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
In this section, we provide an optional opportunity for you to discuss some of your contributions more fully.
What do we mean by "optional"? We truly mean you have the opportunity to choose. In evaluating your application, we want to know about who you are and how you think Stanford will help you achieve your aspirations. We are also interested in learning about the things you have done that are most meaningful to you. If you feel that you've already addressed these questions well in other areas of the application, congratulations, you're done!
If you would like to discuss your contributions more fully, this section is the place to do so. Perhaps you would like to expand upon a bullet item from your resume and tell us more about the “how” or “why” behind the “what.” Or maybe you have had impact in a way that doesn’t fit neatly in another part of the application. You are welcome to share up to three examples (up to 1,200 characters, or approximately 200 words, for each example).
For more information, see our website.

We request that you write two personal essays.
In each essay, we want to hear your genuine voice. Think carefully about your values, passions, aims, and dreams. There is no "right answer" to these questions—the best answer is the one that is truest for you.
Essay A: What matters most to you, and why?
For this essay, we would like you to reflect deeply and write from the heart. Once you've identified what matters most to you, help us understand why. You might consider, for example, what makes this so important to you? What people, insights, or experiences have shaped your perspectives?
Essay B: Why Stanford?
Describe your aspirations and how your Stanford GSB experience will help you realize them. If you are applying to both the MBA and MSx programs, use Essay B to address your interest in both programs.
Length
Both essays combined may not exceed 1050 words. We recommend up to 650 words for Essay A and up to 400 words for Essay B. We often read effective essays that are written in fewer words.
