Hi,
I am planning to apply to MBA schools but I am totally clueless. I have graduated from UCLA last year with a B.S. in Psychobiology and a B.A. in Near Eastern Culture & Languages. I originally applied to medical schools and wanted to become a doctor, however it was after my med school interview that I realized I want to get my MBA.
I had a question in regards to letters of recommendation. Since I come from a pre-med background all of my letters are health care related I am assuming, since all my professors knew that I am applying to medical schools. So, I am not sure if it’s ok to send those letters since those are the only ones I have. I do have 2 letters from my former bosses.
I would appreciate any feedback you have.
Thanks
Hey Catherine, its good that you realized that you want to get an MBA. Letters of recommendation are very important and as I said earlier do not take the easy way out. I would recommend you try and get in touch with your one of your professors and a former boss and get two new LORs. Most MBA schools typically ask for 2 so if you get one from a prof(academic setting) and one from a former boss(professional setting), it would be much better than using some of the old LORs. Furthermore, these days most LORs are to be filled online so you anyway will need to get in touch with them.
