Hi!
On the application form for ESMT there are two options that look to me as equivalent:
"Recommendations" and "References".
Are they equivalent? "References" is marked with a green dot, implying it is optional.
If they are not equivalent, how should I interpret them?

LuizAngioletti,
The Recommendations and References tab serve the same purpose.
However, there is a stark difference -
Recommendations:
- If you have a pre-written letter of recommendation( LoR ) from the employer or Professor on letterhead, then utilise the Recommendations-tab to upload the letter of recommendation
References:
- If you do NOT have a pre-written letter of recommendation( LoR ) from the employer or Professor on letterhead, then utilise the References-tab to initiate an e-mail to the reference address for a set of questions that would act as a letter of recommendation
Last but not least -
- Are they equivalent? "References" is marked with a green dot, implying it is optional.
PS: Post your questions on this page - ESMT Jan 2021
I am sure some applicants would be on a similar page and would benefit greatly from this discussion.
Feel free to reach out if you have any doubts!
