While applying to a university in the USA, you may come across the requirement of 2-3 LORs, specifically from your college professors. Few universities can even ask for two academic LORs and one professional LOR. Therefore, it is important to check the LOR requirements beforehand and approach the selected recommenders well before the time. Connecting with recommenders near the application deadline will leave you with very less time to discuss the points you wish to highlight in the LOR. By starting early, you can even refer to various samples such as lor samples for MS in Civil Engineering or sample LOR for MS in Chemical Engineering,

As an MBA programme is quite a sought-after program, every document, including the LOR must be carefully prepared. Below are few things you must not include in the recommendation letter which can jeopardize your application:
- The recommender must not include weaknesses or negative points, unless asked by the university. Incase the recommender mentions a weakness, he must show it in appositive light, mentioning how are you working on it.
- The LOR must not have too many traits which seems too good to be true. It is better to include less traits with instances to make it more realistic.
- Avoid putting excessive technical details in the MBA LOR;

Yes, in case your manager is unavailable, you can get a professional LOR for MBA from your colleague. However, the colleague must be senior to you in designation to recommend you. In addition, it would be better if they have worked with you closely in a professional capacity. This will ensure that your LOR for MBA can have the best impact, despite not being from your manager/supervisor.
