Teacher and counselor recommendation format?

<p>What is the format of the teacher and counselor recs? Are they given specific prompts (and if so, do those vary from school to school?) Are they asked to rank students or highlight specific skills? Also, how long are recs?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>This is the format for the Common App. Schools that don’t use the common app have a similar format.</p>
