I have a few friends who went to some of the top B-schools. Does it strengthen my application if the alumni were to send an email to the ADCOM as an informal recommendation?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi ayashlaha,
Each MBA admissions program will have their own policy about what additional information they would like to see. If the business school you are applying to does not mention this, then I would not recommend your peers send their recommendations.
Best,
Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team
