Rank 2: Stanford Graduate School of Business 
Stanford has a breathtaking record as a premier Ivy League
university, which is about as exclusive as it is possible to get.
Admission seekers to the prestigious MBA course have to contend with
thousands of wannabes from all over the world for the 400 seats,
which are available. The application essays have to be superlatively
written and have to reflect the candidate's ability to walk the path
less trodden and blaze their own trails, as has been the Stanford
way down the years. The school seeks unique students who have flair
and a track record that reflects academic excellence and extra
curricular ability extraordinaire. Deadlines
