How important are recommendation letters in the MFE admission?

And what are the admission officers looking for in the letters?

How should we guide the professors to write the letters?

Thanks a lot!

It was discussed in our QuantNet Guide by director of admission at several MFE programs. You can find it on page 53 onward.

Very important in my opinion. Even more so than the statement of purpose. I think my recs played a large role in my admissions.
