Letters of Recommendation from Academic Source - What if you weren't close to your professors?
Hey guys,
so i noticed some business schools ask for at least one of the recommendation letters to be from an academic source.
My question is, what should you do if you weren't exactly close to your university professors/lecturers? wouldn't it be a bit stupid if you suddenly contacted them and they can't exactly remember who you were?
Which schools are these..?
from memory it was MIT Sloan's Msc Finance. they require 3 letters and at least one from an academic source.
Is this also for MBA?
Teacher Letter of Recommendation (Originally Posted: 09/21/2010)
Has anyone asked for a letter of rec from a teacher? I am considering it but I am not sure how to go about it or its usefulness. I have some from previous jobs that work well but I think having one from someone living in the ivory tower could help as well.
let me know what you think. and as all ways, go America.
just call and ask make them remember the good things about you and how well you did in the class they will give it 99/100 times if they remember you for not being a douche bag
Help with Reference Letter from Professor (Originally Posted: 03/22/2011)
I recently asked my finance professor to write me a letter of recommendation and replied that I should draft something up for him and he would finish it off.
What should I put in that would attract the most amount of attention from investment bankers?
This is so simple...
Talk about your ability to analyze things. Give examples Talk about how hard a worker you are and what you have done to show that Why are you better than everyone else? What relevant leadership experience do you have? What makes you stand out? Attention to detail Personality (finance is about relationships) Mathematical background?
There are an infinite amount of things. Read any internship listing for what they want in an applicant. SELL YOURSELF
I have never seen an IBD job posting that asked for rec letters...
