Common LOR for European Schools? 01 Mar 2022, 07:39

Hey,

I'm trying to do a speed run for R3 for Oxbridge, INSEAD (and perhaps some others), but i'm quite confused about how the LOR process goes.

I want to let my recommenders knows in advanced exactly what's required from them, and hopefully i want to streamline the process so they don't have to figure what to write for each school, but for some reason it kinda seems like MBA apps are hiding the LOR format? I was hoping to find the exact requirement for each school before sending out a request link to my recommenders.

Is there anywhere I can get the exact info required required in the LOR? I saw that there's something called a common LOR, which seems to be US only, but i was wondering if it's also mostly applicable to European schools? or do they have a completely different set of questions?

Thanks!

Take a look at ClearAdmit. They do a great job of capturing the questions. Here is one for Oxford:

Hi mufi,

while there is some overlap, European schools tend to have their own set of questions in their recommendation letters.

You can use our Essay and LoR Database to browse through the questions asked by top schools.

I hope this helps.

Warm regards

Hi mufi, would like to second ClearAdmit as a great resource for this. Believe they’ll have this information for the schools you have mentioned.

If Clear Admit doesnt have the questions posted for the European program in question, have your best friend or significant other sign up on their portal and send the questions to your consultant or someone else in your circle. Once that person receives the link they can forward it to you so you can see what the recommender would see.
