help with ISB reco

by najeeb775 » Fri Nov 11, 2011 3:40 am
Hi,

I have a rather strange situation. I am applying to ISB cycle 2. My reco provider is from Verizon and unfortunately he can't send out an email from his official email id to give the reco. I spoke with the ISB team and they said offline reco is possible.

I have heard that offline reco is not advisable, do you think that is correct? What are the drawbacks of submitting an offline reco? Please suggest if you can think of an alternative.

Appreciate your help and response
Thank you!

I see no disadvantage whatsoever to sending an offline recommendation, and in my experience they are just as good. Just make sure that you send them a sealed signed recommendation with an introductory letter saying that it belongs to your package, and you will be fine and dandy.
