Business School Admissions Blog | MBA Admission Blog | Blog ...

The Stanford Graduate School of Business has released its?Class of 2014 profile, with a few changes to note. 6,716 candidates applied to the MBA program (up slightly from 6,618 last year), with 398 starting this academic year. Women make up about the same percentage of students (35%) as last year (34%), but the percentage of minority students (20%) is much lower than last year?s 20-year high of 27%. There are more international students than ever and they represent 53 non-U.S. countries. Ninety-one undergraduate institutions are represented, but only 17% of the Class of 2014 majored in business. Stanford?s average GMAT score was 729, with a range of 550-790 ? compared with last year?s median score of 730 and range of 580-790.

Beyond the statistics, it is important to take note of Stanford?s declaration, ?We don?t admit categories; we admit individuals. There are no quotas or targets in the admission process, and each applicant is evaluated entirely on his or her own merits.? So if you don?t ?look? like this class profile, don?t worry! As Stanford notes, ?there is no metric that can measure character.?
