Length of Letter of Recommendation


Patricia_w

I'm wondering what is the normal length for a letter of recommendation? 1 page? Would 2 pages be too much? Is there a litmitation on this?

Do you know the length of your letter of recommendations? If so, how long is yours?

Many thanks!

Hi Patricia,

As far as I know, the normal length for a letter of recommendation is about one to two page. So 2 pages of letter wont be too much. However, more than that is recommended unless you have some very "outstanding" accomplishments to mention. One of my letter is one and a half page, other one is 2 pages lenght. Hope this helps!
