Question about Letters of Recommendation

by mdavis » Thu Dec 18, 2008 8:06 am
Hello all,

I had a question regarding the process about obtaining letters of recommendation. I have three people that will do them for me, but how do I go about sending them to the schools? I know for the LSAT they would send them into one place and that company would then forward them with any application you do. Is there something similar for business schools? If not, what is the exact process I have to do? Thanks!

Hi there,

For business school there is not one official system which compiles all of your application materials, such as that used for Law or Med school applications. There are some schools who accept a form of a common application, but for the most part, each school has their own application process.

The good news is that most applications are completed entirely online now, including the recommendations. For most schools, you will simply submit the contact details of your recommenders, and a form or log-in will be emailed directly to them. They'll complete everything online, and they may be requested to answer specific questions or ratings scales for that particular program.

If you are applying in this cycle, you can certainly go onto the school's website and log in to each application now and get a feel for the process and questions asked. Let us know if you have other questions about the recommendations or other application factors.
