KillerSwag - So my recommender finally received the invite after many trials. I had given him the Common LoR format to draft his responses before sending him the link. Cornell mentions on its website that a common LoR is accepted and the questions in the actual recommendation link would be the same. My recommender however reports that the descriptive answers part of the recommendation features an optional question which asks to justify the ratings above, which is different from the one in the Common LoR and seems to be a mistake (also doesn't make sense wrt the context of the section). He now is asking me if he should go ahead with what he has drafted or skip it.
Not sure what to do about it. Anyone facing the same issue?
