Everything You Need to Know About MBA Recommenders | mbaMission Podcast Ep 13

In this conversation, mbaMission senior consultants Harold Simansky and Kim Hoey discuss the importance of letters of recommendation in MBA applications. They discuss what makes a strong letter of recommendation, who you should choose to write your recommendations, and how you can best engage with and support your recommenders.

Takeaways:

✔️ Recommendations are a critical part of the MBA application and can validate other parts of the application.
✔️ Your recommender should be someone who has worked closely with you in a professional context and can provide specific examples of your skills and strengths.
✔️ Specificity, authenticity, and enthusiasm are key in writing effective recommendations.
✔️ You cannot write your own recommendation, but you can manage the process for your recommender to make it easier for them.
