In Reply To: I'll be applying for b-school this fall but I'm already wondering how (or if) to ask the boss for a recommendation. Are rec's from the boss absolutely necessary to get into a top 10 school? Are business colleagues sufficient? What about using good Performance Reviews written by the boss? Can they count as a recommendation? Its not that I'm worried he'd give me a bad rec but I'm not in the consulting world so ditching work for an MBA isn't as common. Thanks in advance.
