13 Jan 09 Letters of Recommendation
Provided by Accepted.com, the leading admissions consultancy
OK. You've written dynamite essays and filled out the applications. All of a sudden you get an unexpected curve ball. One of your recommenders says "I really want to help you get into an MBA program. Why don't you write the letter of rec, and I'll sign it. That way it will emphasize exactly what you think is most important."
You of course graciously acknowledge the recommender's good intentions and thank him or her for the outstanding idea. Inwardly you are less than thrilled with the idea of writing one more word about yourself.
Relax. We'll tell you what a recommender should say. In fact, you can pass these tips on to your recommenders, in case they don't know what to say and don't ask you to say it. (more…)
