I am a current senior in an undergrad program and am applying for MBA programs that begin in the fall of 2008. The question I have is about recommendations. One of the schools I am applying to requires three recommendations and I know exactly which three people to ask (One professor from my major, one business professor whom I've had many classes with and my boss from a summer internship).
My problem comes with another school that only requires two recommendations. I think I would get the best recommendations from my two professors but my boss's recommendation is sort of a wild card. I know he will say good things but I'm worried it will be more about that I'm a hard worker vs a strong leader (it was a short internship and I was given more grunt work than projects to lead).
Am I better off just asking my professors to give recommendations or will I be docked for not having anything from work?
thanks for the advice,
Joe
