On length of recommendation

zenghao

A question on behalf on my recommender . He wants to have general idea on how long should a recommendation be. I requested him to put examples for situations rather than writing just platitude. Would it be ok if he writes a detailed one with good examples or should I advise him to be succint.

Please advise.

Thanxs!

don't worry.

essence lies not in the length.

Does it include space allocated to grid also or just answers to questions which wharton has asked. Is it ok if I tell him to answers questions in 2-3 pages and attach personality grid to recommendation. Or it will also be too big for adcom to read.

I want to just give feedback to him once to help him save time on edits.

Thanxs,
