I had this same concern, especially since I don't necessarily work in a field where it is expected you will get an mba. I just talked to both my supervisors last week and it went well. This is pretty much exactly what I said "I've wanted to go back to school and had been thinking about ASU (my undergrad and local university) part-time mba and most likely that is where I would still go, however as I've been researching further, I think I may actually have some shot at a top 10 school. I know it's only like a 15% acceptance rate and it's a long-shot, but I figured I owed it to myself to at least try for an amazing opportunity. I really do love working here and of course wouldn't leave unless it was for a once in a lifetime opportunity that I just couldn't pass up, that's why I'm only applying to ASU and a few very top programs. This is something I'm really excited about and hoping you would help support me by giving me your recommendation. This wouldn't be until a year from now if I got accepted, and I would know either way long before that, so of course you would have plenty of notice of my plans."
wow.. that was one killer approach!!!
quiet liked it... might try something on that line...
