A strong letter of recommendation can make or break your deferred MBA application—but most applicants don’t realize they have real influence over what their recommenders write. While you cannot (and *should NOT*) draft your own letters, you can absolutely coach your recommenders to highlight stories and strengths that complement your essays and overall application narrative.
In this session, we’ll break down what admissions committees look for in recommendation letters, how to choose the right recommenders, and practical strategies for equipping them with the context they need to advocate for you. You’ll leave with a clear framework for aligning your recommendations with the rest of your application, ensuring your candidacy shines from every angle.
With over a decade of experience, I’ve helped candidates gain admission to the world’s most competitive deferred programs, including Stanford, Wharton, Booth, and many others.
