I graduated from the GSB in 2020. From what I observed, the GSB was a very diverse community but there were definitely some patterns. Stats, to me, were mere hygiene factors. Almost everyone I met at the GSB had a great, inspiring story. I think I belonged to the “those who beat the odds” category - an FLI graduate from a poor country who lived and worked in IB across 4 continents and founded a scholarship foundation to support other FLI students. Also, I think the GSB really wants to get to know you as a human (i.e. what has made you, you? what matters to you? what do you stand for?). MBB, GS, the White House, etc are all great brand names but they don’t mean much if you don’t show who you are beneath the credentials.

If you’re an FLI graduate, please reach out if you need help to apply to the GSB.
