Always ask the person who would write the strongest recommendation for you. Meaning, your managers. Rank is a “nice to have,” but definitely does not trump a strong rec.
I was told to get recommendations from partners by the students I was in touch with when applying. Wasn’t possible since the partner I worked with was a jerk. So went with 2 managers and it worked out fine. Got in to 5/7 schools. 2 top 10, fuqua, Anderson and my back up
It’s more important that they talk about your qualities with concrete examples IMO and it’s on you to guide them for that
1. Definitely echo/agree with BCG1
2. My main advice to people on recommendations, beyond start gathering them early, is to pick people who are advocates. You want someone who you think is actively invested in your success, inside AND outside the firm. Anything less will seem less compelling that the pile of letter we always hear are self written.
*Compared to the pile of letters we always hear are self written.
++Also - I’ve seen people post about family friends writing recs. Does that really help? I have family friend who’s a global lead but I’ve never worked with him so I don’t understand how those kinds of recs are beneficial.
Top 10 as in m7?
