A Stanford MBA Alumni's Advice to me

I had written to a Stanford Alumni (Marquis Parker) a couple of months ago regarding applying to the Stanford Optional Deferred Program which was available to the college seniors.

My questions and his response are posted in his blog www.marquisparker.com http://www.marquisparker.com/2010/03/question-from-a-college-senior-applying-to-b-school/
