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.

Background- I'm currently 28 years old and have been working in the energy sector for 6 years. I graduated with a Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Degree from a top 10-15 non-ivy with a 3.51 GPA. My GMAT score is a 750. My job is highly technical and I am looking to pursue an MBA, with the goal of changing career path. I applied R2 at Kellogg, Sloan, and Fuqua back in 2017 (matriculate in 2018) and basically got dinged at all schools. I got super depressed and decided not to apply anywhere in 2018, and now Im looking to kick off my MBA process again. I'm trying to correct my mistakes I thought I made when I applied 2 years ago by focusing on improving my essays (hiring a consultant), getting my recommendations in order, and improving my application overall. Believe my reasoning to change career paths from super technical in a very niche industry to more of the business/commercial side (looking to pursue consultant gig after MBA) is a sound reason. I'm also looking to develop myself as a leader and gain a better sense of the technical/business connection- I love working in teams, but find myself having difficulty rallying people together to pursue an outcome. Is this a valid reason to pursue an MBA? Also, I plan to target schools such as McCombs, UVA, Sloan, and Columbia. Is this a decent list or are there other schools besides HBS/GSB/Wharton that I have a decent shot at?

Hi chestud13 did you apply with that GMAT two years ago? Did you get any interviews? If not, yes, seems your application is the culprit. The goals need to be more concrete in terms of job/industry/geography and your passion/mission to achieve them; the personal development thing is good, however, to what end? I really don't know what you have in your arsenal yet - to determine possible school options. Would need to look at past contribution, proof of impact or leadership, international exposure, anything pointing to innovation. That kind of stuff. The school choices seem on the right track; maybe add Duke for O&G/energy, if you plan to stick to the same industry. Please PM me or contact me directly for more insight.
