I was wondering about the format for the recommendations to Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, Columbia, and Yale SOM.
For instance, Harvard's recommendation seems to be a form with four separate questions and four separate text boxes for responses. Stanford seems to be the same. HOWEVER, I've also read information that says things like "recommendations should be no more than 4 pages in length, double spaced."
My question is whether letters of recommendation can be submitted as one actual "letter," or if the recommenders get a link to a question form (similar to a survey) where they have to answer distinct questions separately...?
Does this vary from school to school?
