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.

reaper1 its all okay mate. Life happens but that don't define your capabilities. I was almost admitted into MBA college last year. But I end up being hospitalized hence facing the gap year, but you know what I learned maybe I was not meant to pursue MBA there, maybe something better is written up there. Believe in energy, Maybe you will get admission in Harvard later on with a better GMAT score or a more than average class profile. Who knows. Life changes for good, for better but its never constant. You can try it again after a few years with a rock strong profile so that they won't even think about rejecting it again. Keep hustling till then. You will achieve your Target college for sure. Good luck.

Man I'm sorry to hear that. First things first: Your rejections in no way reflect that you are not good enough or anything like that. Your GPA is great, and you will be well prepared to work for a few years and IF you then still feel the need to get an MBA, you can still apply and nobody will hold this against you. Re-applicants get in all the time (more often than not even at a higher rate), and you having been a deferred applicant, you even have great story to tell about where and how you improved. Plus, you only applied to two schools, so there is a ton more that even might be a better fit for you down the road. What I'm saying is: Put your head down, do good work in your job, work on EC's etc (you now know what adcoms like to see - major advantage!), and then reapply. You will be just fine.
Second, and I think this is really important: I spoke to a CBS adcom during my interview (I'm also a deferred applicant), and he told me that Harvard's 2+2 program only has a 50% yield, compared to a 90% yield for their regular admission full-time MBA. What this means is: You might be devastated now that you did not get in, but there is a high chance you would not even feel the need to get an MBA later in your career and turn down offered admission to a school as prestigious as HBS.
Therefore, just focus on what's ahead of you now. Don't look back, but most importantly, don't lose your confidence. You got this man!
