I am just trying to get some clarity on the recs. Do schools prefer recommenders fill out those forms with the questions and grids, or do they want an actual letter? Does is vary by school? The forms look fairly comprehensive and I thought that they preferred the online forms over a letter.

Any clarity would be appreciated. Thanks

Do my recommenders have to fill out your recommendation form or can they submit a letter?
A: We prefer recommenders use our form, but they may submit a letter that addresses our questions as long as they also include the evaluation grid, which can be downloaded from the hardcopy form. They must attach a business card to the letter and send it to us at our mailing address: Goizueta Business School, 1300 Clifton Rd, Atlanta, GA 30322.

Emory : goizueta FAQ section reads this.

Similar to emory all colleges for default prefer their forms to be filled.

you can check that college on college basis.

Depends on the school. Many schools have forms to fill out, some just ask for a letter. Gotta check each school's website.

"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."
