I have an MBA I’m no longer using. Is there any way I can sell it on eBay I wonder? I’ll throw in a BA to sweeten the deal if that helps.

Charge as much as you like, Stanford.

You still aren't a Well-Known Eastern Business School.

Stanford’s endowment, as of August 2012, is $17 billion, doubly subsidized by the US taxpayer (tax deductible for donors, tax free income on that money for Stanford).

This year, Stanford is telling applicants that estimated cost of its two-year, full-time MBA program is a whopping $185,054,

It wouldn't cost much more than that to hire a PhD in business to be my full time, 40 hour per week personal tutor. Is there any justification for a price that high other than getting contacts with other people in your class for the future?

Those costs are totally insane. What ever happened to employer paid tuition for night programs at reasonably good universities??

After a Bachelors Degree in Civil Engineering at Case Institute of Technology, I was offered a partial scholarship to Stanford for an MBA in the early 60’s but decided to go to work instead and start earning some money.

Got a job with a gas utility company who paid for my tuition at a three year night program for a Masters of Engineering Administration Degree at Case Institute of Technology, which is pretty well regarded.

Didn’t cost me a dime and I have never regretted not going to Stanford other than not living in California during the 60’s for a couple of years.

What percentage are students who are subsidized by their government?

More than 33% of Stanford MBA faculty and 40% of students were born outside the United States, and 20% of our alumni work outside the United States.
