I plan to apply the next year. I had one more query.<br /> Can we get The Letter of Recommendation from a person who is not our manager but whom we are reporting to in our office.What I mean is that in our company a person at G40 level and above is a manager.But he delegates his work to employees at G30 level.I currently report to a G30 and he decides my rating.Since I closely work with him so he knows my contribution better.So whom should I ask a letter of recommendation from?</p> <p>Also please tell me what I should do in this year to make my application stronger.<br /> Thanks in anticipation. </p> http://www.takegmat.com/answer/topic/please-guide#post-123 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 19:00:14 +0000 Admission@ISB 123@http://www.takegmat.com/answer/ <p>Reetjha,</p> <p>Your qualifications are perfectly fine.
