monkeypunch asked a great question? anyone?
My recommender told me that he is concerned that some of what he wrote may have gotten cut off by the PDF. He says that once he starts typing and once he gets to a certain length, there will be arrows on the side for him to scroll up and down. That's all good because you'll be able to see the information if you scroll up and down. However, he tried to print a copy for his records, and when he did that, the printout only shows what's on the screen, giving the impression that 50% of the information is gone. Is the information gone? Are there word limits for the recommendation?
My recommenders told me they wrote "a fair bit" but they didn't print or do any PDF'ing so not really sure. I would suggest that you tell them to write what they think is true and representative of you. If your recommenders are anything like the majority, they won't have time to sit and edit it over and over like us applicants do for our essays.
Having said that, I'm all done and submitted
although my PDF did crash midway because of some annoying vista error!! I did receive my application receipt.
