Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew any good sites for:
1. Finding general advice for writing professional references? (Ex. Subjects to focus on, length, etc.) My references asked me to tell them what to write and now I'm currently compiling packages to make the entire process easier for them to complete.
2. Providing advice for writing personal statements.
3. Helping me compare US schools (not necessarily just for MBA programs). I'm from Canada and not very familiar with the reputation/academics/etc of certain US schools.
Anything would be really helpful. Thanks!
ETA: I know it's really early to even be considering this, but I'm curious what other people's take on this would be. I'm applying for a Master of Arts Administration. York is the only Canadian school I'm really considering, whereas all of my other choices are in the US. Say that I were to get into York and into other US schools, this would be a dilemma I'd have to consider. If I go to York, I pay the Canadian tuition and that won't kill me financially. However, I'd be taking the risk of some sort of strike putting my education on hold and messing up my annual schooling schedule. (York's been on strike a month now and I think they've been on strike when my friends went to York for undergrad.) On the other hand, I could choose a less strike-prone US school. But, money would be tighter for me. Any opinions?
