Application

To be considered for admission, a complete application will contain the following:

For Stanford graduate student applicants:
  • Online application, including a resume and series of short essays.
  • Due to the tuition subsidy awarded by the university, we require two letters of recommendation for Stanford applicants. These letters may come from a professor, faculty advisor, or from someone who has supervised you in a work setting. These should be from individuals who have been directly responsible for evaluating your academic or work performance and potential.
For Bay Area professional applicants:
  • Online application, including a resume and series of short essays.
  • We now require letters of recommendation for our non-Stanford applicants. We encourage you to select references that can speak to your entrepreneurial ambitions.

Please do not request updates regarding your application status or materials. You will be contacted directly if your application is not complete or the Admissions Committee requires additional information.
