The
Admissions Committee requires two recommendations. Re-applicants who
submitted an application for the previous year are only required to
submit a single new recommendation. If you have been working full-time
for at least six months, you should submit at least one recommendation
from your employer. We strongly urge that this recommendation be from
your current direct supervisor; however, if this is not possible,
please submit a statement of explanation in the optional essay. The
second recommendation should be from either a former direct supervisor
or from another professional associate, senior to you, who can add
personal insight to your candidacy. If you are a college senior or have worked full-time for less than
six months, at least one, but preferably both, of your recommendations
should be from an individual who can comment on your managerial
abilities, such as a summer employer or another individual who you feel
can objectively assess your professional promise. The second
recommendation may be from a college professor.
Recommenders should submit their comments electronically. After you
have contacted each reference about providing a recommendation,
complete the form on the Recommendations page,
and check the "Please e-mail this person a recommendation request" box.
An e-mail will be sent with instructions to each appraiser. You will be
notified via e-mail when we receive each recommendation. Please
do not submit your online application until you receive notification
that the recommendations have been received; submitting your
application prior to our receipt of your electronic recommendations may
delay the processing of your application.
