July 22, 2016 by V P

Duke University – Fuqua School of Business

Full-time MBA program – LOR Prompts

Two letters of recommendation are required to complete your application. One recommendation should reflect your performance in your most recent professional setting. The most valuable recommendations come from people who know your professional skills and abilities.

Volunteer activities or other service-oriented roles in which you are deeply involved may also be excellent sources for recommendations.

Recommendations from relatives and friends are strongly discouraged. Academic recommendations in most cases are less helpful.

  1. Comment briefly on the context of your interaction with the applicant.
  2. How do the applicant’s performance, potential, or personal qualities compare to those of other well-qualified individuals in similar roles? (300 words)
