or What would you say are the applicant's key weaknesses or areas for improvement? Recommenders perspective on applicant's weakness can make or break your chances of getting into a business school. In both your essays and your recommendation letter, avoid weaknesses that show lack of 1) Leadership/Initiative 2) Communication 3) Maturity There are two types of weaknesses that you can mention: 1) Functional Weaknesses Mention weaknesses, that will improve with experience or which you can attain by the end of the course. For example: I believe he has scope to improve in experiences like creating proposals, making sales pitches and understanding the intricacies of management consulting, which I am sure, he will pick up during his MBA program at X business school. 2) Personal Weaknesses One popular weakness is lack of prioritization. This is a common weakness, especially when a person gets into his first job after college. So this is a real weakness, not the I work too hard or I am a perfectionist weakness. Your recommender can write about how he has helped you prioritize your tasks. Managing time is another weakness that can supplement the 'prioritization' weakness. Ideally, include the combination of functional and personal weaknesses. Always conclude the weakness question with a positive action or plan of action that an applicant has taken. This shows maturity in handling weaknesses.

The next day, I saw him creating his tasks with the new tool I had given to him. He was highly receptive to my advice. But he is not just a puppet when it comes to following advice; we had our difference of opinion on parts of our project implementation. What I like about X is the data that he collects to support his argument. Most of the time, the data speaks for itself and he had proven me wrong on many occasions with his keen eye for details.
