　　哈佛商学院MBA教你如何申请名牌MBA院校之联系推荐人篇

　　推荐人的选择非常重要，也很tricky。和一个专家(我不肯定他如果知道我在这里分享的一些经验是从他那里借鉴而来的是否会高兴，但我确实想感谢他给予我的帮助)聊起推荐人的选择，他的结论似乎很绝对——直接上司+外国人(最好是美国人)，其他都是扯淡。真的很绝对。如果定要按照这种方式选择推荐人的话，简直跟碰运气一样，我的运气这时候好了起来。我的老板是瑞士人，我的老板的老板是ABC。是的，官方的回答总是要选择了解自己的推荐人，了解不了解，不都是你自己说的嘛。

　　每个学校的推荐信格式都不一样。Wharton出了8个题目，要求推荐人一个一个的回答：

　　1. How long you have known the applicant and describe your relationship to the applicant?

　　2. How would you rank this applicant relative to his/her peer group? Please describe the peer group to which you are comparing this applicant (e.g., employees with comparable work experience and level of responsibility).

　　3. How would you describe the applicant&aposs personal integrity?

　　4. What observations do you have concerning the applicant&aposs leadership abilities, team and/or group skills? How would you describe the applicant&aposs sense of humor (seriously)?

　　5. What are the applicant&aposs most salient strengths?

　　6. What are the applicant&aposs weaknesses? What forts has the applicant made to address these areas?

　　7. What do you see this candidate doing and achieving in 10 years?

　　8. Do you have any additional comments that you think would assist the Admissions Committee in making its decision? If yes, please elaborate.

　　HBS的问题则比较少，但HBS要求的推荐信数量是3封(其他多数学校都只需要两个推荐人)：

　　1. Please comment on the context of your interaction with the applicant. How long have you known the applicant and in what connection? If applicable, brily describe the applicant&aposs role in your organization. (250-word limit)

　　2. Please describe the most important piece of constructive feedback you have given the applicant. Please detail the circumstances and the applicant&aposs response. (250-word limit)

　　3. Please make additional statements about the applicant&aposs performance, potential, or personal qualities you believe would be helpful to the MBA Admissions Board. (250-word limit)

　　推荐信的题目，会陆续在9、10月份各大学校的申请网站上告知。
