How long does a recommendation letter have to be?

@tiberium, yes, I have waived them, but my teacher is not familiar with the Common App and she will most likely ask me to assist her through the process. Btw, do you know if a teacher has to be registered on the CA website in order to submit a recommendation letter or it’s fine to just send her a request to her email ?

@T26E4 and @marvin100, thank you for your insight! Also, do you think that recommendation letters for international students play as big a role as they do for domestic ones? I’m saying this because due to the huge difference in the educational systems, teachers here have never even heard about recommendation letters. There’s not a lot of people applying to US colleges from my country and I happen to know most of them. Everyone is writing their own letters and their teacher is just going to sign it. Do admission officers know about this or not?
