Navigating the intricate process of applying for an MBA program involves more than just acing your tests and drafting a compelling personal statement. A crucial component often overlooked is the Letter of Recommendation (LOR).
In this comprehensive article, we will delve into the nuances of MBA letters of recommendation, exploring key aspects such as selecting the right recommender, crafting a tailored recommendation, and understanding school-specific requirements. Whether you’re approaching a direct supervisor or an indirect one, we’ll provide insights into making your LOR stand out and impress even the most discerning admissions committees.
Who should you ask to write a letter of recommendation?
When selecting someone to write a letter of recommendation, choose someone who can speak about your leadership, personality traits, and skills in a positive light. Business schools prefer letters from people from your professional world rather than the academic world.
That being said, the ideal person to give you a letter of recommendation is your immediate supervisor in your current or past organization.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."
"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."
"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
