Hi,
I'm applying to MIT Mfin, and I've got a letter from a professor and another one from the finance director at my current job. However, I don't know where to get the 3rd one. The finance direct offered to get his boss to write one, but is it a good idea bearing in mind that he doesnt know me so well?
 
More personal recommendations are better. You don't have another professor or any other employers that you worked closely with? I went with a recommendation from my closest professor in each department that was relevant to the degree (math, economics, finance).
 
Thanks Aaron. Are you applying for 2013 or you applied for 2012?
I think I'll use another supervisor at work, since I have a functional and a geographic leader.
 
congrats!
On regards to the interview, I saw a post where a numeric question and a probab question were asked... is that right? during the interview they may ask math questions?
thanks.
 
Thank you.

My interview, and every interview that I've talked to others about, was strictly behavioral. It was nothing more than a pleasant conversation.
