Hi, any thoughts on what specific attributes/characteristics should receive special emphasis in the cover letter to increase the chances
?

Also, did anyone purchase applications from MBA store? Did you find it useful? I wanted to see read a couple of cover letters to understand the tone and structure a bit. Do you guys have any recommendations.

I have 8 years of experience, currently product manager at Coinbase.

Hi, quick question: Is it okay if I submit 2 org charts instead of just 1? I’m from an unconventional background and while 1 recommender and 1 reference are from one company I worked at professionally, the other reference is from a non-profit I volunteer at. So should I include only the professional org chart or should I do both, 1 per page?

You only need one reference for LOR and org chart should be from your professional work place only.

The other two references are just, references. They are not linked with lot or org chart.

Adcoms don’t need volunteer work org chart since that’s not your professional work space.

If my workplace org chart did not detail my position or my supervisor’s role, can I edit it to reflect such?

You can draw an org chart to show where you and your supervisor are. They don’t want an official org chart as a mandatory thing. Schools understand these things can be confidential as well. These guidelines are on the website as well

On the general template, it’s 500 words per question but as long as the letter touches the right points I think you can go a good amount lower than that and still be okay.

Can I draw my own org chart? My company does not have any way to generate a comprehensive one like MIT’s sample one.

What are my options if that’s not allowed?

gloomybison, The general guideline is to start with your latest work experience.

Thank you Nikhil, reason ı asked was in the Sloan application portal it starts giving instructions about resume starting with education bullet point then goes to WE

Also I guess internet is split over it but where do we put the date? left or right?
