Hey guys,
I have applied for Booth EMBA program (Asia) which must need letter of time sponsorship
Yet since my company have just changed my boss, it's very difficult for me to get letter of time sponsorship for allowing me to take leave.
Is it possible to take Booth EMBA program without such kind of letter? As I love Booth so much.
If not, is there any other top tier school has hybrid/online MBA program to be applied for?
Can anyone advise what should be my next step?
Thanks a lot! Much appreciated!

Hi and thanks for your interesting question. I have learned something new! 
I have not heard of the letter of support from Employer. The only letters of support I am aware of is Alums sending them in behalf of the applicants during the waitlist situations. This must be an Asia provision. Is this in addition to the letter of recommendation or instead?
My experience with EMBA admissions however is that they are very open and very welcoming to qualified candidates and would not reject anyone without giving it multiple considerations.
What is your plan? It sounds there is some leave required from the job, what is your plan for taking that time off? Use vacation? I think the program is mostly concerned about you not over-estimating your ability to take time off and not stretching yourself too thin. If you have a plan how to address it, I would discuss it with the EMBA AdCom. They won't ding you for talking to them and instead would be welcoming of anyone approaching them and will be happy to work it out. (EMBA admissions are very different from FT/PT programs; EMBA is for-profit, so it is a business opportunity for them to have you as a student). You can first tell them about your challenge, how you are planning to tackle it and if that would work and perhaps about what is the purpose of the employer support letter....

Thanks bro, really appreciate of advice.
And yes, it is in addition to the letter of recommendation, it is not a letter for waiting list situation.
Instead, it is a letter of time sponsorship to showcase I can take leave to attend the EMBA course.
I have asked the AdCom and they said I can apply first, what if I have offer, they will think of ways to deal with my situation.
Thanks a lot bro!
