MBA Recommendation Letters
Recommenders are strongly encouraged to submit online recommendations at least one day prior to the application deadline.
Professional / Workplace Recommendation
One of these two recommendations must be from a current direct supervisor. If you are unable to provide a letter from your current direct supervisor, include a brief note of explanation in the Additional Information section of the online application. College seniors may use a direct supervisor from a summer/part-time/internship experience or alternatively, from a extracurricular/volunteer/charitable activity.
Peer Recommendation
This recommendation should be from an individual of equal position with whom you have worked on a project or on a team from any of your extracurricular, professional, chartiable, or other activities.
