I have been asked to write a letter of recommendation for college admissions. How long do these letters run? A paragraphs, a page, two pages?
At the end of the year (when I was already accepted to college), my chem teacher showed me his letter of recommendation that he wrote for me: it was like 1 and a fourth pages double spaced (he submitted it through the Common App).
Mine tend to be one page, single spaced with a double space between paragraphs.
Even if the applicant isn’t applying to MIT, they have a lot of good tips for reccomenders on their admissions blog.
