Did you guys get a recommendation from your current supervisor? What if this just isn’t possible or what if a previous supervisor could write a stronger recommendation?

Yeah, that’s fine. I had just changed supervisor before applying. I think it’s a bad look if none are from your current company though

Edge case. Depends on how many years of experience. If this is your third year of experience then yes. If it’s your seventh then no

I got mine from a previous one. Was ready to provide explanation for not using current, but they didn’t ask.

does it help if advisor went to the school it’s for

Yes, but obviously it depends on your relationship with them and whether or not they are on board with you going to get your MBA. Most programs understand this and will accept a prior direct supervisor, but I definitely think it benefits you to have your current employer (especially with limited work experience).

I got in to tuck. Did not use my current manager
