MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

Hi
I am looking at ways to improve my MBA application.
I am an indian national. I graduated from a university in UK with an upper 2.1 in Accounting & Finance. Worked in the financial sector for a year before shifting to a job as a business development and strategy consultant for over 4 years now. Both my jobs were in India (so no international work ex).
GMAT score = 700
Looking to apply in the top 10-30 ranked b-schools according to the FT 2013 ranking.
What should I do before I start applying next year? Social work? Learn a language? Travel? (havent traveled much)

Hi there,
1. International exposure is highly sought after by b-schools. So if you get a chance to travel on work, it would be great. However, this is not something that has to top your list.
2. You should try to take up more responsibilities at work- take initiatves where you can, and make a difference through your work. Your work experience is an important aspect of your application, so make sure it is very sold.
3. You should also get involved in extra curricular pursuits- take up activities that interest you, and where you will make an impact. These activities make your personality more rounded, so they are important.

Hi,
One thing to note about about #3 in MBAHelp's post (great points) is to make sure you pick things that not only align with your interests, but that make sense and you have a trajectory in. If you're applying next year and you choose an activity out of the blue, it's going to be a transparent effort to bolster your app and adcoms are going to see right through it.
For example, if you were in involved in sports during your undergrad but then chose to volunteer at a NGO this year, it's going to seem like direct pandering for your application (which, actually, is what you're setting out to do in the first place!). So in other words, try to make your application bolstering to be as natural seeming as possible!
