There is a general feeling that Stanford's first essay "What matters to you most and why?" is not a very easy one to write, people end up writing up to 7 or 8 pages according to the Stanford website. Not that there is a recommended length for this essay and it depends on what experiences each person has to share but it is clear that Stanford is trying to really know everything (as relevant to b school apps) about you from this essay. Suggestions generally point to starting this one well ahead of time. Good luck!
