Hi,
I'm looking to apply to top business schools in the fall. I had a 4 year career in banking, and recently left because I was a finalist in a top nationwide business plan competition (although ultimately did not win the grand prize). I left because a) my boss found out about it and as a result did not think I was serious about banking, and b) I want to pursue my business plan.
However, as I've been working on this (and an entreprenurial venture a few friends are starting), I realize business school could be a great asset in helping me launch a company.
[b]My problem: I cannot go to my old supervisor as I don't trust he would write me a glowing recommendation. And that is the only job I've had post-college. [/b]
I keep in touch with a few co-workers who would write me a good rec, but they were not my supervisors. Or I could have one of the friends I'm working on a business venture with now write me one. Would this be looked down upon in the admissions cycle?
Thanks!
