I wanted to get inputs on adding a cover-letter for MBA application?
The school i am applying to has most of the stuff online (Essays, resume,extra curricular activity details etc.).

Do you think a cover letter is needed &/or is helpful?
Just wondering if it will look over-engineered.

Thanks.

Dear malnv:

Whether or not to include a cover letter is your personal preference. I do not think it will hurt you but would not expect it to significantly help you either. I tend to think it will look professional more than over-engineered.

Anyone else want to weigh in?

Regards,
Lisa
