mbaMission senior MBA admissions consultant Harold Simansky talks with mbaMission executive director Katy Lewis about the important role recommendations play in business school applications, as they provide evidence of leadership, which is a key trait that top schools look for. Recommendations are like a transcript of leadership and serve as a marketing document that sells the applicant. They can break ties between equally qualified candidates and can even convince the admissions committee to admit someone with exceptional recommendations. It is important for applicants to approach their recommenders with enthusiasm and support, and to provide them with detailed information about their accomplishments. It is also crucial to choose recommenders who know the applicant's work well and are enthusiastic about their potential.
