Season: 2018
One recommendation is required, but you may submit up to two for review by the committee. You should seek recommendations from people capable of commenting on your professional, leadership, and intellectual capabilities. The most useful evaluations are from people who are able to speak with certainty about your leadership, maturity, team orientation, analytical skills, and interpersonal skills. Examples include a current supervisor, colleague, client, or former supervisor. If you are currently employed we recommend that one of your recommendations come from your direct supervisor. If you are still in school, we recommend asking an internship supervisor or an individual who knows you from a leadership role.
