[TeethRCool]

will 3/4-1 page suffice?I asked the dentist I shadowed and he just wants an approximation to how long the letter should be.

Mine was a little less than a page long, if that helps any.

See I wasn't sure about the length ethier, but I'm at 1 page if it's single spaced, this sounds like a dumb question, does this letter need to be double spaced?

500 words is about average i hear. I only wrote 400 words though..

Edit: Oops that was stupid - i thought you were talking about your essay for AADSAS - disregard please

Mine was 1.5 spaced. I don't think it matters. Its like the old saying goes: its quality, not quantity. If the letter speaks volumes of your abilites in a short space, it will make a good impression with the adcoms.

some of you guys are talking about personal statements. HE is not writing anything. he wants to know how long the DENTIST'S LETTER should be.

to the op, sorry, i don't really know

it doesnt really matter how long it is as long as it covers all the things the recommender wants to say. I would guess a single page single spaced (or a two page double spaced) letter is sufficient, but it can certainly be lets say more than two pages if your recommender wants to write more about you.
