Letters of Recommendation

We ask that all applicants submit three letters of recommendation.

At least one should be from a supervisor if possible—this doesn't have to be your current supervisor, though it's preferred. We're looking for an objective view of your strengths and weaknesses, so if you work for a family business, look for a client or other individual to write your recommendation.

Your recommenders should be familiar with your professional achievements. If you don't have work experience, your references should be familiar with your academic achievements. Select references that know you personally and are able to assess your potential for success in a rigorous academic environment and a business career.

Recommendation Form Options (choose one):
  1. Send your recommenders the link to the online recommendation form.
  2. Send your recommenders the PDF recommendation form to complete and mail to us.

Important: Though our online application collects the names of your recommenders, ultimately you are responsible for contacting them with instructions on submitting the recommendation. We do not contact your recommenders on your behalf.
