Peterson's - Crafting Your App (Page 16)

outlined a way of altering a client's exhaust stack to reduce sulfur
emissions. The report was organized so that it was easy to follow
and written in a style that was clear and easy to understand.
Additionally, Paul made the live presentation during a meeting with
the client's board of directors, engineers, and lawyers. He was
confident and handled some very difficult questions in an easy
manner. I should note that we have used Paul's innovation in several

other plants.

Finally, I would note that Paul made an important contribution to
our company softball team. The team finished in last place, but Paul
played in every game. His batting average wasn't anything to brag
about, but his enthusiasm more than made up for it.

Sincerely,

Mary Weiss

To get a letter such as this, you have to ask someone who knows you
well. It may also help to provide them with suggestions about what should
go into the letter. If you have not been in recent contact, send a resume
with a cover letter reminding them of some of the important points that you
want them to mention. You might also want to include a copy of
"Guidelines for Writing a Letter of Appraisal for a Business School
Applicant" (in Appendix A of Getting Into Business School Today).

Footnote

You are about to make a huge investment in your future. The cost of
applying to school is virtually nothing when compared to the cost of the
education. And the cost of your education is miniscule compared to your
earnings potential over a lifetime, depending on where you get in. More
importantly, it is your life--your time needed to complete applications, two
years in school, and a career. So explore all options and maximize your
opportunities.
