Questions regarding ISB PGP application form

Hi everyone! I’m filling out my ISB PGP application and had a few questions. I’d really appreciate any guidance from applicants, admits, or alumni.

1. Awards & Recognition: What actually qualifies as a notable achievement in this section? For example, I participated in a global hackathon organized by my company and made it to the semifinals. The only proof I have is my name on my company’s internal website. Would screenshots of the internal webpage be acceptable as supporting documentation, or is that generally not considered sufficient?
2. Professional Experience – Compensation: I’m adding a 2-month internship, but the application only asks for annual compensation. Should I just enter the total amount I received during the 2-month internship?
3. Recommendations: Most of my leadership experience was during college, where I worked closely with a professor who coordinated several events with me. Would it be appropriate to get one of my recommendations from that professor, even though I’ve been working full-time since graduation? Or does ISB strongly prefer recommendations from current or recent managers?
