References That Count: How to Choose (and Guide) the Right Referees
Update: 2025-11-25
Description
In this episode of the Ivey MBA Admissions Series, Lindsay and Aimee share how to choose referees who can truly speak to your impact — and what makes a reference stand out. They explain why it’s not about a referee’s title, but how well they’ve seen you in action. This episode is also designed for referees, as they break down what we’re really looking for in the free-form sections on leadership, interpersonal skills, strengths, and development areas. Forget one-liners like “works well with others” — great references tell us who you are, not just what you’ve done.
