OK, first thing first - the morning after I decided to retake GMAT, I woke up with severe migraine, sore throat, blocked nose and ears... was it a sign?!!
Anyway, last night, Stanford GSB held a webinar for ASEAN countries to give a chance for the prospective MBA and Sloan programme applicants to chat with 2 of its recent graduates. So we had the pleasure to meet Tilia Wong, who was from Malaysia but is now living in the US, recent MBA 2012 and Khai something something, a recent Sloan programme graudated who is now a civil worker in Singapore.
OK, confession time - I didn't really pay attention to what Khai something-something said because he was a bit kiasu, spoke longer than necessary and mainly he was talking about Sloan programme... yea... not really interested in the Sloan programme...
But Tilia came across as a very charming lady, soft spoken but very articulated and obviously smart. I just wished that Khai would be less of a mic hogger and let her speak more... like really MORE! and Khai just had opinions about everything, even on MBA specific matters... oh well.... kiasuness...
What I like about the webinar - it was at 9 pm on a weekday, a nice change from having to wake at 2 am on a weekday to attend other top school's webinar (HBS, I'm looking at you!).
What I don't like about the webinar - Khai... like seriously, I rather Tilia be the sole speaker for the session so she could explain more about her experience as a student at GSB...
What I learnt about GSB that I couldn't get elsewhere - hmm, ah this actually came from Khai (thanks, Khai, hahaha) - he said to take advantage of the different programmes offer by the 7 other schools in Stanford and work with the young people who are doing the undergraduate there.
What thing that was quite obvious from the way both of them talk - the entrepreneurial spirit of GSB and the Silicone Valley... this seems like something unique to GSB and students should really take advantage of it.
OK, now I can't wait to attend their info session on 1st August!
