General Theme suggestions for LOR(Reco) Post Sat Nov 26, 2011 8:48 am
Hi

I consider Recos to be one of the most important part of your application. At ThroughMBA, I have found people confessing about this part to be most grueling.
Whom to approach for LOR?
What to say when approaching for LOR?
How to suggest what should be written? and the list moves to more intrinsic behavioral problems like How to inform my manager that I plan to leave the organisation for an MBA?
How to get Recos which compliment my Essays?

You can use this part to clear your approach on LOR. Generically LORs talk about

♦ Can the candidate effectively establish and maintain relationships?
♦ How does the candidate work with others, including supervisors, peers, and
subordinates?
♦ Can the candidate delegate responsibility?
♦ Is the candidate sensitive to less competent persons?
♦ What is the candidate’s potential for future success in business?
♦ Can the candidate work in a team environment?
♦ How has the candidate shown creativity?
♦ Can the candidate effectively communicate verbally and in writing?
♦ Is the candidate persistent? motivated? efficient?
♦ What is the probable performance of the candidate in business study?
♦ Has the candidate carefully considered plans for graduate study?
♦ How does this candidate compare with his/her peers who are applying to business
schools?
♦ Are there any situations that have affected the candidate’s academic record?
♦ Has the candidate sought and been able to create opportunities?
♦ Does the candidate accept constructive criticism?
♦ How does the candidate accept a challenge?
♦ Does the candidate admit mistakes?
♦ Is the candidate able to ask for help?
♦ Is the candidate able to grasp new ideas?

Use this space for queries related to LORs.
