I am looking for some advice on how to handle the following situation:
I work for a financial consulting firm and I'm applying to Booth's weekend MBA program (from out of state) and already have letters of recommendation from my current Director, and former Associate Director who left to to take a Controller position at tech company eyeing an IPO. Both of these letters of recommendation are coming from people I direct report/reported to for over 2 years and after discussing my application with them I believe they will give me very strong letters of recommendation.
Through a family member I have also had a mentor for the past three years that I have become very close friends with who offered to write me a letter of recommendation. He has a very impressive background and resume: an alumnus of Booth, currently the CFO of a publicly traded global manufacturer, board member of multiple charitable foundations in our city. Although a lot of our relationships is about professional development and career advice, I have never worked for him. In addition Booth's application seems pretty strict on only needing 2 letters of recommendation. Is it better to use an alumnus with an impressive background over someone I directly reported to? Is there another way I can leverage his willingness to help me get in to Booth on my application?
Thanks!

Hi there,
For your actual recommendations, choose individuals who can comment best on your work and strengths and accomplishments. Perhaps the alum/mentor can still reach out to Booth admissions, as an alum, and suggest they have a close look at your application.
In fact, Booth does offer online opportunities for alumni to recommend/support an applicant, see:

Hope that helps!
