Toronto / Rotman MBA Recommendation Questions
The Toronto University Rotman School of Management MBA application requires two professional recommendations, preferably from current and/or previous supervisors. Self-employed applicants or those employed in a family business should avoid obtaining endorsements from subordinates and instead seek out professional peers such as a customer or partner. Academic and social-based references are not appropriate. The Rotman MBA recommendation consists of a series of short-answer questions and the opportunity to upload a long-form overall recommendation. The MBA recommendation questions for the current admissions season are available below.
