The rec pretty much covers what I would have said and more, and was very good, albeit only about **2-3 pages /B.

!!! That’s a long rec. College admission representatives specifically told our counselors to write no more than a 1 page rec or else they won’t read beyond the first page. Quite frankly, if I was a admissions officer at Columbia I wouldn’t read more than one page since there are so many applicants. So I hope your coach didn’t spend his/her whole first page writing about your past and how he/she knows you.
