Notes on Letters of Recommendation

  • Your recommender will not receive the link to the online recommendation form until you submit your complete application in the application portal. To ensure all application materials are received by the deadline, please submit your application with sufficient time (at least one week) for the letter of recommendation to be received prior to the deadline.
  • We strongly recommend that you provide a personal email address for each recommender to ensure your recommenders receive the link. Government, military, and corporate email addresses often have email filters that delay or prevent email messages from being delivered in a timely manner.

For each cohort, an application review committee offers admission to a select and diverse group of students to enrich the classroom experience. In order to ensure that there is a baseline of knowledge and experience of students in the cohort, applicants should have the following pre-requisites:

  • A bachelor's degree.
  • At least five years of experience in government, private sector, or a non-profit organization. 
  • Openness to feedback- both offered and solicited; capacity for self-examination; willingness to challenge one's own beliefs and biases.

During the admission review, strong emphasis is placed on the quality of responses to the essay questions to determine an applicant's openness to feedback, capacity for self-examination, and willingness to challenge one's own beliefs.
