Rec letters
Hi,
my teacher just let me read his rec letter and i was very happy with it.
but i mean, don't really know how rec letters should look like.
it's a page long, but it has a lot of specifics.
is it too short?
what is the usual length of a rec letter?

Quality, not quantity. The first example on the page CalAlum provided is half a page long when I copy and paste it in, so I wouldn't worry about the length of yours anyway
