Berkeley Haas Full Time MBA Application Recommendation; Berkeley Haas Evening & Weekend MBA Program

We require two letters of recommendation and prefer that at least one come from a current employer. Select individuals with whom you have had considerable professional interaction, such as your supervisor or a major client. The title or status of those you select is not important. What does matter is how closely your letter writers have worked with you and whether they can attest to your value as an employee, your professional accomplishments, and your personal qualities and interpersonal skills in an organizational context. For this reason, we strongly discourage academic references. Letters of recommendation from co-workers, someone you have supervised, relatives, or personal and family friends are inappropriate and can be detrimental to the review of your application. Please do not submit more than two letters, and if you choose not to obtain a letter from your current supervisor, be certain to explain why.

To the recommender: It is important both to the applicant and to the Haas School that we know as much as possible about the applicant’s leadership potential and capacity for graduate business study. We encourage you to be completely candid and to provide specific examples wherever possible. It is helpful to the applicant if you answer the specific questions that we ask. Generic recommendations that do not address our questions typically do not strengthen an application.

We are particularly interested in the answers to the following questions, but welcome any information you think appropriate. We encourage you to provide specific examples wherever possible. Please provide your responses on your company letterhead or stationery, but use this form to mark your responses to question 9.

1. Are you, or have you been, the applicant’s direct supervisor? If not, what is the nature of your relationship?

2. How long have you known the applicant? How frequent is (was) your interaction with the applicant?

3. How does the applicant’s performance compare with that of his or her peers?

4. How effective are the applicant’s interpersonal skills?

5. What are the applicant’s three greatest strengths? Cite specific examples.

6. What are the applicant’s three greatest weaknesses or areas in need of improvement? Cite specific examples.

7. What significant contribution has the applicant made to your organization?

8. Please comment on the applicant’s potential for leading an organization.

9. Please give us your appraisal of the applicant in terms of the traits listed below. Compare the applicant with others whom you know have applied to business school or with individuals who are being groomed for leadership positions within your organization. It should be extremely rare for any candidate to receive “truly exceptional” in all areas, and unusual for a candidate to receive either “superior” or “truly exceptional” in all areas.
