All applicants must submit two letters of recommendation.

1. The first letter of recommendation should come from a supervisor. If possible, it is preferred for you to use a current supervisor for this recommendation. If you are unable to use your current supervisor, please explain the circumstances in the optional essay. Overall, Booth’s admissions team is seeking objectivity in the letter, and would want to hear from someone who can assess both your strengths and your weaknesses. If you work for a family business or own your own company, please try to secure a letter from a client or outside party who does business with you and can provide an objective assessment of you.
2. The second letter can be professional in nature or come from an individual who has worked with you in an organization, club, or on a volunteer project. These letters can give us a different perspective of your skill sets outside of your professional environment. There is no preference on who supplies your second letter of recommendation; our only guideline is that it should add new and valuable insight to your candidacy.

Whomever you choose to write your recommendation, make sure he or she knows you well and can offer specific examples of your performance and contributions to the organization. Avoid choosing people simply based on their title or status. The admissions team are more concerned with content and substance rather than reputation.
