Columbia Full Time MBA 2011-2012 Application Recommendation
Submit two recommendations from people who can speak directly about your managerial ability and professional promise.
The Admissions Committee prefers that one recommendation be from your direct supervisor. If you are unable to secure a recommendation from your direct supervisor, please submit a statement of explanation in Essay Question 5. The other recommendation should be from a former supervisor, if possible, or another professional associate who is senior to you.
If you are a college senior or have worked full-time for less than six months, at least one, but preferably both, of your recommendations should be from an individual who can comment on your managerial abilities, such as a summer employer or another individual who you feel can objectively assess your professional promise. The second recommendation may be from a college professor.
