How does the Committee view letters of recommendation from employers?
We understand that it may be necessary to ask your employer for a recommendation, particularly if you have been out of school for a while. Letters from employers are certainly acceptable and can often be helpful. However, it is important that they speak to academic qualifications as discussed above. If you are still in undergrad and have strong faculty letters, it is not necessary to add a letter from your employment or internship unless it adds something additional to your file.
