Hi all,
I have found the recommendation forms for Anderson, Stanford and Haas (3 out of the 6 school I will be applying to) and realize that each of the schools asks 5+ questions of my recommenders. At Haas, they ask 9 and have an aptitude chart to fill out! Now, I have 2 people who I feel would give me the best letters of rec, but I just am not comfortable asking them for 30+ short answers.
What should I do? A friend said that she asked her recommenders to just write one REALLY good letter, which covered the majority of the questions, and submitted it to all of her schools. Does this strategy fly with admissions boards? Will the be offended I blatantly disregarded their online forms?
Thanks for the advice!

i think you should have your recommenders follow the guidelines set forth by the specific schools. if answering too many questions starts becoming a problem, consider spreading around your recommenders so that no 1 guy/gal does more than 2-3 schools. also, consider applying to less schools
