Letters of Recommendation
-
Applicants to the MBA program must submit at least two letters of recommendation. Applicants to the dual MBA programs must submit a third letter of recommendation.
-
One letter should be from a current/recent employer or volunteer experience supervisor who can comment on the applicant's ability to perform on the job and his or her future as a management professional. The second letter should come from a former professor or academic advisor who can attest to the quality of the applicant's academic achievement. The third letter, if applicable, should be a professional reference.
-
For those who have been out of school for some time and for whom getting an academic reference is difficult, submitting two professional recommendations is acceptable if at least one of the recommendations can address the applicant's abilities to be analytic and reflective, and to express ideas, both orally and in writing.
-
We prefer that letters of recommendation be submitted online directly from the recommender. You will be asked for email addresses of your recommenders as you complete the online application. Upon submission of the application, your recommenders will receive an email from us requesting that they upload a letter directly into our system.
-
Please note: your recommender will not be contacted by us until you complete and submit your online application. It is the responsibility of all applicants to contact their recommenders after beginning the application to ensure that recommenders have adequate time to submit their letters prior to the deadline.
-
If your recommenders prefer to submit a hard copy letter, we ask they use this recommendation form so that we know if you have waived your right to read the recommendation. We will, however, accept letters without the form. All letters of recommendation sent by post should be printed on official letterhead or include the recommender’s official business card. All letters of recommendation should be submitted in signed, sealed envelopes.

All hard copy letters should be printed on official letterhead or include the referrer's official business card.
