    Note To Recommender
    The above person is applying for admission to the Berkeley Full-time MBA program at the Haas School of Business. Thank you for agreeing to write a
    recommendation for the applicant. We encourage you to be completely candid and to provide specific examples wherever possible. It is helpful to
    the applicant if you answer the specific questions that we ask. Generic recommendations that do not address our questions typically do not strengthen an
    application. We greatly appreciate the time and effort that you are taking to provide us with your assessment of the applicants abilities.
    We prefer that the applicant gather all documents including the recommendations and submit a complete set of materials with the application. After completing
    this form, please enclose it in an envelope, seal the envelope, and sign across the seal. Your signature across the sealed flap of the envelope ensures the
    confidentiality of your assessment. Return the envelope to the applicant who will submit it to us unopened with the remaining application materials. Again our
    preference is to receive all application materials in one package from the applicant; however, if you wish to send your letter directly to the school, we will certainly
    accept it.
