When writing a letter of intent, should it be treated the same as any other letter, ie be addressed the person in charge of admissions?

Ive come up with a fairly good one page essay. The program asks for a 1-2 page letter of intent. My letter is about 600 words and about 1 1/4 pages (Times, 12 pt, 1.25 line spacing) Do you think this is enough or do they expect you to make the whole two pages. Im not one for writing fluff (im a scie...

Thanks for the information Julie, very interesting. I'm looking to apply at the University of Alberta, a well ranked Canadian MBA program with a solid technology commercialization program.

Letter of Intent
I was wondering if anybody has some good references for writing a letter of intent for my MBA application. Any sample letters would also be greatly appreciated, just so I have a reference.

Ok excuse the last post I was a little irritated, had to abandon that test because it messed up so badly.
I took another one and it went very well (no freezing), got 690, the quant is very hard.

Well they are back online, but the site is crawling, not very impressed at all, five minutes to get the next question. Im tempted to abandon Manhattan and ask for a refund, if they cant provide the product then they shouldn't take my money.

I went to use MGMAT today and got about half way through the quant section when the site crashed. I could not log in even through my secondary internet connection. Pain that it happened halfway through my CAT test. Not impressed at all over this. Can someone double check that manhattangmat is really...

Surprisingly CR is my strongest area. I only got a few errors in the OG 12 questions. RC is my second weakest area after SC, I think I just need practice. Im doing pretty good on the OG guides for both SC and RC but when I take the test errors start to emerge. I think the problem is by the time I ge...

I have done some of the older Kaplan tests and I seem to keep scoring around 570 on these tests. However, when I do the official practice test I score consistently above 700. This is really really wierd, maybe something in the Kaplan test does not agree with me.

Well I definitely have an improvement in SC, I just have to keep the momentum and practice going. I still have quite a few OG SC questions to go through. My biggest hurdle now appears to be consistently scoring above 700. I did the Veritas prep and got 650 (47Q, 35V). I have heard from multiple sour...
