HAAS Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered scholarship
HAAS asks the following question in its application form: Would like to be considered for scholarships designated for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered students.
Hmm, how should I put it... How do they verify your statements? 
And do they announce it publicly if you receive it?

True. Them seem to prefer it less. But on the other hand they say "generally" (which means there are exceptions) and "strictly" (which probably implies very boring standard academic recommendations that mention no extra curricular, don't talk about personality, etc). Stanford app...

Did they say they do not accept academic recos? Does the third one adds something important to your profile which is not presented in your application? They said: one from peer at work + one from supervisor + one "professional". So, they didn't say it explicitly, but implicitly. I do beli...

>> Yes, professional means 'job only' . But, then it means that Stanford wants ALL THREE recommendations to come from your employer. Because they explicitly state than the remaining two should come from "Employer - direct supervisor" and "Peer at work". Are you 100% this is the c...

Yes, I've been with present employer for a year. So, I guess this is the question. Would it be optimal strategy to with a 3rd reco from previous employer (to provide recent recos but somewhat one-sided ones) or with the one from university (to highlight academic aptitude as well, but with a bigger t...

Stanford GSB letters of reference
GSB requires 3 recos: workplace, professional & peer recommendation. Is it ok to provide the following: 1. One from workplace, from current supervisor. 2. One from current peer. 3. One from university scientific advisor (graduated in 2008) ? I have doubts about the last one. But if this one will...

I thought that somebody could potentially recommend a specific source with a corresponding quality. Not just some random stuff you can get when googling.

Stanford GSB essays examples / book
Dear all!
I really enjoy "65 successful Harvard BS application essays" and wonder whether there is on of a comparable quality for Stanford GSB. If not, then probably you can recommend some examples worth reading to be inspired online?
Thanks!

What would be your strategy to go from 720-730 (estimated by GMATPrep) to 770 in exactly one month? Not full time, unfortunately, only in evenings and in weekend? I know it is ambitious but at least I want to try to improve as much as I can. But what should I do? Review dozens of my notes with mist...
