Letters of Recommendation

MBA Recommender Answers (GMAC Common LOR)

For recommenders answering the GMAC Common Letter of Recommendation questions - the peer comparison and the constructive-feedback story - and for candidates asked to draft the answers.

The two core narrative answers of the GMAC Common Letter of Recommendation, used with local variations by 40+ MBA programs including Stanford GSB, Wharton, and Yale SOM: the performance comparison against well-qualified peers and the most-important-constructive-feedback story. Written by a workplace supervisor, or drafted by the candidate at the recommender's request. The form's Leadership Assessment grid, rating buttons, and recommender-information fields are not reviewable prose and are out of scope; the optional third 'anything else' answer may be included or omitted.
