How long should LOR's be?

<p>I have to turn in two LOR's from two teachers, and one from the counselor.
In my case I will turn in one from my principal, since there wasn't a real counselor at my school.</p>

<p>I guess the principal's rec won't be long, and Im not sure about the teachers' LOR's, but how long do you suggest it should be?</p>

<p>About one page per recommendation would be fine.</p>

<p>As I have been told by teachers who get inundated with such requests you should expect no more than 1 page.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot! I am an international and had no idea!..lol</p>

<p>This might be of assistance to your letter writers, regardless of which school you’re targeting:</p>
