Hi Stacy,
I really appreciate the time and effort you devoted in answering our questions.
I worked in a multinational corporation for 5 years prior to co-founding a nonprofit organisation half a year ago.
I’m thinking about obtaining my recommendation from the following:
1st and 2nd recommenders: My ex-superiors in the multinational I used to work for.
3rd recommender: Sponsor for one of my projects for the non-profit I am currently running.
Questions:
1) I do not have a superior for the non-profit I am running. Among the people I can approach are a) the people who benefited from our projects, b) sponsors, c) The other co-founder. In your opinion, who could be the best candidate? All these people have known me equally long.
2) Or is it best to include 2 recommenders from my current company or 1 from my previous company?
3) I’m worried that the admissions committee may find me unsuitable as I’m deciding to go to business school barely half a year after I co-founded the fast-expanding non-profit. I understand it really depends on the way I explain it but is it really detrimental to my application in anyway at all?
Thank you so much Stacy.
