How long should Letters of Interest be?

[Stolenspatulas]

I am thinking of writing letters of interest to some schools post-interview.

Should they be half a page long?
Is it ok if they're more than a page long?

Any knowledgable answers are much appreciated.

Generally, it's best to keep it within a page...

Ideally it's like a nice skirt, short enough to keep attention but long enough to cover the essentials. You don't want it to be like a Wonderbra, attention getting but mostly built upon false pretenses.

Definitely not.
