Letters of Rec Question

Stacey,

I am a current Ivy League grad student in Medical Physics. I recently started a software company, and we are in negotiations with a few major vendors for a medium-to-big (~$2M) acquisition.

Given that I don't really have a current employer, is it OK to have one of my partners (an equal) at my software company write a letter of rec? I will have a former supervisor write one as well.

Could you also give a quick profile eval for Wharton's HCM program, Stanford GSB, and Berkeley's healthcare management program?

Thanks!

- GPA 3.01, Physics, no-name PA state school (worked to pay for school)
- GMAT 750 (Q45, V48, AWA 6.0)
- Former high school physics teacher, worked for a startup, started another software company, facing potential acquisition. Current Ivy League medical physics grad student.
- Local Park & Rec board member, local animal shelter volunteer, pro-bono web design work for charities, leadership positions while teaching
- Provisional patent on software idea
- Interpersonal and presentation skills much better than the average physicist, perhaps due to teaching experience. I write and record music in my free time.

Dear gammacad,

Yes, one of your partners is a great idea for a recommender. Also having a recommendation from a past supervisor is helpful.

Overall, you have a competitive profile for any school. Congratulations on your GMAT, by the way! Since decisions are made on more than a GMAT score, your essays, recommendations, and interviews are critical to the ultimate decision. I think you have some interesting professional experience that should distinguish you from other applicants. Be sure to convey your successful leadership and teamwork experiences in your essays as well as a solid rationale for getting your MBA in relation to your past experiences and future career goals. Finally, you might want to add 1-2 safety schools to your list--it is always good to have a backup plan.

Best of luck,
Lisa
