INSEAD MBA Program Recommendation Questions 2015-2016

INSEAD asks recommenders to provide their responses within a PDF that is emailed through the online application, which recommenders then upload through the online portal.

The recommendation begins with several background questions:
Have you attended an INSEAD Programme? if yes, please specify which one?
Please, specify your relationship to candidate: (select Professional, Educational, or Personal)
How long have you known the candidate? Define your relationship with the candidate and the circumstances whereby you met.
Click on the image to the right to view the grid on which INSEAD asks recommenders to rate the applicant’s competence, professionalism, and various other abilities and skills.

Recommenders are then asked to respond to the following short-answer questions within the PDF document. Our initial testing suggests that this space accommodates about 1,500 characters including spaces, though this may vary depending on the software being used.

These INSEAD MBA recommendation questions are:
1. Comment on the candidate’s career progress to date and his/her career focus.
2. What do you consider to be the candidate’s major strengths? Comment on the factors that distinguish the candidate from other individuals at his/her level.
3. What do you consider to be the candidate’s major weaknesses?
4. Comment on the candidate’s potential for senior management. Do you see him/her as a future leader?
5. Describe the candidate as a person. Comment on his/her ability to establish and maintain relationships, sensitivity to others, self-confidence, attitude, etc. Specifically comment on the candidate’s behaviour or skills in a group setting/team environment.

LBS MBA Recommendation Questions 2015-2016

After providing their basic contact information, recommenders are asked to respond to a series of brief essay questions about the applicant’s strengths, areas for growth, progress in the workplace, and goals for the future. Recommenders are asked to address each of the below questions in no more than 500 words. The adcom also notes that this is not a requirement, i.e. that briefer remarks are acceptable in response to each item.

1.How do you know the applicant? How long have you known them for?
2. What would you say are the applicant’s key strengths and talents?
3. What would you say are the applicant’s key weaknesses or areas for improvement?
4. In which areas of development has the applicant progressed most in the time you’ve known them?
5. What do you think this person might be doing in ten years’ time? Why?

Recommenders are then asked to complete a Ratings section, in which they complete a quantitative assessment of the applicant on a series of skills related to intellectual ability, interpersonal skills, as well as management and leadership potential. The LBS adcom asks recommenders to use the following “system” in completing their ratings: 1=High 3=Average 5=Low. Recommenders are also able to select “Not observed” for any of the below items:
Intellectual or academic ability
Quantitative skills
Initiative / Ability to take decisions
Problem-solving skills
Organisational skills
Leadership skills
Team skills
Impact / Charisma
Self confidence

Spoken English communication skills
Written English communication skills

Finally, recommenders are asked to summarize the strength of their recommendations on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 corresponding to Highly Recommended and 5 to Not Recommended.
