Hello MBA applicants:
My name is Portia an MBA graduate of Cambridge University Judge Business School. I know how tough and rigorous this MBA application process is as I was in your shoes just three years ago. I didn't have a high enough cumulative GPA. Yet, my MBA application was loved by top 5 business schools such as LBS and INSEAD. Since then I have been at numerous MBA info sessions and helping folks like yourself. I LOVE helping people! I want to transfer this knowledge to you and in this thread, I will share 7 tips to get that stellar recommendation letter from your referee.
Your referees’ words are extremely important. So, here are 7 tips for a successful and outstanding reference letter:
1.Reference writing for MBA applications is VERY time-consuming. Do not underestimate the time and effort it will take for your referees to write an outstanding recommendation letter, especially if it is their first time.
2. Teach your referees how they should speak about you in the MBA reference letter. This does not mean you write the reference letter. This is a no-no and the Admission Committee will find out.
3. Speak with your referees and get them to understand your goals for pursuing an MBA and your aspirations for the career advancement. Review your career achievements thus far with them and verbally discuss how to strategically make them shine in the application process.
4. Each reference letter needs to be tailored to each business school. Develop a plan with your referee for each business school.
5. Give ample amount of time, at least 4 weeks’ notice, to your referees so that they can write an outstanding letter.
6. Teach your referees to use VERBS not adjectives. They need to demonstrate who you are through actions you have taken.
7. Choose 2 to 4 individuals that know you extremely well and have known for at least a year (the longer the better). One of them should be your reporting manager. Some schools ask for two or more reference letters. Consider asking a client, a peer and a former manager to be your referees as each can provide a different perspective on who you are.
