UNMATCHED MBA ADMISSIONS INSIGHT FORTUNA ADMISSIONS STANFORD GSB Deep Dive Analysis MBA Class of 2020 COPYRIGHT © 2019 - FORTUNA ADMISSIONS LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED www.FortunaAdmissions.com FORTUNA ADMISSIONS Stanford GSB Deep Dive Analysis – MBA Class of 2020 As with every other leading business school, Stanford GSB publishes an annual Class Profile with basic details about the incoming class. This high-level summary explains that the MBA Class of 2020 welcomed 419 students from around the world coming from 306 organizations and 63 countries. Among the published data: • 48% of the class had studied Humanities and Social Sciences with Engineering, Math, and Social Sciences accounting for another 34% and Business majors making up a further 18%. • Professionally, Stanford reports that admits from Financial Services made up 21% of the class spread across Private Equity Venture Capital and Investment Management. • Consulting provided 19% followed by Technology at 15% and Government and Education a further 10%. But that is it. No details on which colleges they came from or exactly what they studied and no specifics on who they worked for in what role or how many changed employer or sector before joining the Stanford MBA. The Fortuna Admissions team has worked with many successful admits to the GSB and we witness first-hand the academic trajectory and professional path that applicants have taken. So, we thought it would be worthwhile to identify as many profiles in the MBA Class of 2020 to better understand the diversity of experience that Stanford attracts every year and the colleges and companies that led to a place in Palo Alto. -

Class of 2012-2013
LETTERCLASS FROM OF THE2012-2013 YP4 STAFF Dear 2012-2013 YP4 Fellows, What an incredible year this has been! In addition to being inspired by your commitment to the progressive movement, we are continually impressed by the incredible work that you have been doing on your campuses and in your communities. The time has come to close out your Fellowship year with Young People For. It doesn’t seem that long ago that we selected 150 Fellows from 80 campuses in 32 states, and that you all convened over the summer in Madison, Los Angeles, Raleigh, and Newark for our four regional trainings. After the trainings, we strategically paired you with a mentor to build the foundation of your leadership. In January, you came to Washington, D.C. to harness the hard skills in organizing and to form your Blueprints for Social Justice. This year, your Fellowship class submitted over 80 Blueprints for Social Justice. That’s 80 new campuses and communities that will reflect the change you want to see in the world, and we couldn’t be happier to be a part of that change. As we close the Fellowship year, we wanted to share with you the breadth of our shared work, which is documented in this year’s Fellowship Yearbook. We hope that you will continue to call on YP4 and each other to support this critical work. We are also thrilled to welcome you to the YP4 alumni network. As alumni, you can continue building on the relationships you developed during your time as a Fellow; connect with new Fellows, alumni, and progressive leaders; continue your leadership development; and give back to the program. -
Sylvia Porter: Gender, Ambition, and Personal Finance Journalism, 1935–1975
ABSTRACT Title of Document: SYLVIA PORTER: GENDER, AMBITION, AND PERSONAL FINANCE JOURNALISM, 1935–1975 Tracy L. Lucht, Ph.D., 2007 Directed By: Professor Maurine H. Beasley, Philip Merrill College of Journalism This historical dissertation examines the career of Sylvia Porter (1913-1991), a syndicated newspaper columnist who developed the genre of personal finance journalism and created a space for women on the financial pages of newspapers. At the height of Porter’s success in 1975, she reached forty million readers in more than 350 newspapers, published a monthly financial advice column in Ladies’ Home Journal, and had produced a shelf full of books, including the best-selling Sylvia Porter’s Money Book. This dissertation—the first full-length account of Porter’s career—uses primary sources to trace Porter’s evolution from a media curiosity to a nationally recognized expert amid changes in women’s social and economic status. The author argues that Porter carved a niche for herself within the male-dominated field of financial journalism by using seven professional strategies: (1) She accepted a job in a non-prestigious field of journalism, (2) she allied herself with her readers rather than her peers, (3) she formed alliances with men who could help her career, (4) she used preconceptions about gender to her advantage, (5) she mythologized herself in interviews with other journalists, (6) she used multiple media platforms to reach different audiences, and (7) she appropriated the labor of other writers. The author also argues that although gender was an important facet of Porter’s public persona, her development of personal finance journalism was driven more by market forces and her eventual use of ghostwriters than by prevailing gender norms. -
