For those of you who have experience with this...
How long should my letters of recommendation be? I want to be clear in my expectations when speaking to my recommenders.
Some of the schools I am applying to have templates/forms (e.g. CBS) while others ask for an open letter (e.g. Kellogg).
So for something like CBS, how l long should a response be for a single question (i.e. Comment on your observations of the applicant’s ethical behavior.)
And then how about for a non-template letter?
Thanks,
Michael

It's hard to average it since some schools have 9 questions (Hass) and some 3 (Darden), but anyway it shouldn't be more than 2 pages long.

I would agree, no more than 2 pages. Also, there's a great thread on rec. letters and making 'packets' for your recommenders to refresh them on what they should write about.
Make sure they write the right school name
