All,

I've been trying to understand or find something (anything) online that could elude towards how long the Booth recommendations need to be. They have not specified the word limit within the application and hence was raised by one of my recommenders as a question.

I'd appreciate if you could shed some light on this topic.

just call up the admissions office and ask

My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

I did reach out to the Admissions office and they were not able to answer the question directly or drop a hint about the average length seen, or it's range.

I was looking to get some direction from those who have applied or are applying to Booth, as their recommenders may have asked or are asking the same question as mine are: How long does this one need to be?

Any thoughts?

Well, I like to see one longer recommendation (for the stronger recommender) and one less long. I think 3 pages is a good length for the long, and about 2 is average.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
