Did the fact that the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) snagged the top spot in the Financial Times Global MBA Rankings yesterday pique your interest in the school? As always, those of us here at Clear Admit encourage prospective applicants to use rankings as just one of many criteria when evaluating MBA programs. But if the FT rankings did get you thinking about Stanford, a new feature on the Stanford MBA Admissions Blog can help you learn more about what it’s like to go to business school there.

This week, Stanford launched a new photo diary series on its MBA admissions blog. Fifteen second-year students documented several days of their lives on campus during the fall 2011 quarter. Through photos and short journal entries, the students paint a picture of how a typical week shapes up – sharing everything from what they discussed in particular classes to which recruiting events they found most useful.

Stanford’s social scene unfolds as well, as students share about parties, dinners out, golf games, dorms and off-campus apartments and more. The admissions team clearly sought to provide as many diverse perspectives as possible: The 15 students herald from Michigan, Malaysia, the Netherlands, California, Massachusetts and Israel, just to name a few. And their professional backgrounds range, too, from financial analyst to eighth grade science teacher to management consultant to design engineer.

So if Stanford GSB is a school you are considering – or in the process of applying to – don’t miss this chance to hear straight from current students what the MBA program is like.
