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.

Hello all,
I am going to be applying for Fall '09 admission, and have a few questions -
I do not have great Extracurriculars outside my personal hobbies, and some youth coaching. While I really have a desire to contribute to the community, I'm not really sure what to do to highlight my leadership abilities for B-school in a way that does not appear rushed.
It seems like many of the top programs really value experiences outside of work/academia.
What are some things you guys (admitted, applying, and other) have done to help create opportunites to prove yourself not only as a contributor, but as a leader in the community? And how have these activities translated/been received at the MBA level, both in applications and intereviews?
I hope we can get some valuable converstation going here, I am sure (at least, I hope!) I am not the only one facing this issue for the upcoming Fall '09 apps.
The main thing I am looking into is getting activiley involved with my undergrad alumni program, and continuing my youth sports coaching, but I would love some other opportunites to look into.
Thanks!

to be frank, i did nothing extra beyond what i was already doing. I was a late applicant (started mid-october) do didn`t have the time to do anything extra. Tbh, i probably wouldn`t have done anything extra anyway. If it doesn`t interest tme, then i won`t pay lip service to it just to add to my `potential` of getting into a school because it goes against my nature. Accept me for who i am and let me evolve. I won`t bend over backwards to do something i`m not particularly interested in and eat up my spare time.

I meant mostly doing things that interest you as well.
My catalyst for doing Youth Coaching was because it was a quick Extra Curricular, but after starting, I realized quickly I would do it regardless of whether I was going to Bschool or not.
Didn't mean to imply "what did everyone do to make it look like you actually care", I meant more what did everyone do, that brought them satisfaction, and also helped your candidacy.
Thanks!
