Hi, I am applying in r3. For my recommendation, i was thinking to ask my current client to write it for me. However, on the application page, it says that evaluator should be line manager or supervisor. Please suggest.

All things being equal you will want to have your manager or supervisor write the recommendation if you feel that they would be a champion for you and take the time to really set you apart and speak to your strengths. If you don't do that then you will need to explain why in the optional essay.
I've had many clients get into top 5 schools without a single manager recommendation so keep that in mind...but it is preferred in their eyes.
But if your manager or supervisor is unable to - and please listen closely to this - narrate a story where they ** observed you *demonstrating leadership teamwork and problem-solving*, then it's better not to use them.
The schools just want to have the lowdown on you but the bigger picture is that they are reading the application to **get to know you**. And if your manager is just going to take your annual review and copy paste it with a bunch of meaningless adjectives and no anecdotes.....then by all means it's worth it to go with someone who is truly going to take the time and has observed you and seen you and can truly speak to what makes you unique.

Thank you for the quick response.
I could ask my line manager (at my firm) to complete recommendation. However, as a consultant, I believe my client would be in a better position to elaborate on his experience working with me for over an year.
Do i need to write the additional essay for this? I believe supervisor could be someone from the firm or someone who has had an opportunity to look into your work for a prolonged duration such as a client.
