In the first podcast episode of Cherie's Corner with my Stanford MBA classmate, Jae Yu. We talk about his career in the U.S. military before coming to Stanford's Business School, serving in South Korea, and being one of the main organizers of Former President Trump’s Visit to North Korea. Jae is a dual admit to both Harvard Business School and Stanford Graduate School of Business and he talks about how he made the decision to attend Stanford and what he wrote about in his application essay. Finally, Jae gives his perspective on the MBA application process, his favorite classes, and what it’s like to experience graduate school life with his wife.
