Hello all!
I had a response on this in the b-school application forum, but wanted to get your input on letters of support (not the mandatory rec letters):
MIT sloan is my #1, and I have 2 alumni/current managers to write me letters of support. (Letters outside of my 2 recommenders)
I'm also applying to other schools:
1) HBS
2) Wharton
3) GSB
4) Kellogg
Do these schools accept letters of support? I can't find this on their websites. I've read mixed reviews online.
My recommenders are great, and set-in stone. Just wondering how to approach this. Lots of other people online have said they send them in, while some have said they don't...what do y'all think?
Any admissions folks here to chime in?
For example: "Does MIT Sloan accept peer recommendations from either current MIT Sloan students or alumni?
We do accept letters of support from alums or current students. They can be emailed to
[email protected] and we will attach them to your application as supplemental information. We would not recommend using them as your official recommenders unless they can speak to you from a professional perspective as well (i.e. your direct supervisor also is an MIT Sloan alum)."
