<p>Hi all!</p>

<p>My teacher, who I know VERY well, said that she was going to write me a really really good recommendation letter. I thought that this was good, until she said that she was planning to write at least 2 pages—probably 2.75 pages. I wanted to tell her not to, but I felt sort of bad. </p>

<p>Will this excessively long recommendation letter hurt me? I know her for a long time, but I think that it will, because it may irritate the admission officer. </p>

<p>Thanks so much</p>

<p>Of course not. Admissions officers won’t hold it against YOU if they think it’s excessive. They’re intelligent enough to realize that you have no control over what one of your teacher submits. Take a deep breath and relax!</p>
