In this episode of the mbaMission Podcast, Senior MBA Admissions Consultant Harold Simansky and mbaMission Founder and President Jeremy Shinewald discuss the importance of recommendations in MBA applications. They highlight the common mistakes applicants make and provide tips on how to choose the right recommenders and prepare them effectively. Harold and Jeremy also emphasize the need for recommenders to provide specific examples and evidence of the applicant's accomplishments and unique qualities.

✔️ Recommendations are often overlooked but play a crucial role in MBA applications.
✔️ Applicants should choose recommenders who know them well and can provide specific examples of their accomplishments and unique qualities.
