I never heard of reference letter longer than one page. it is rediculous.

Professors are very busy, they do not have sooooo much time to write long letters for you. the important thing is the judgement of research potential of you in the letter.

Not exactly.

Many reference letters are longer than one page. It depends.

Professors have their 模板 to write recommendations.

For potential, people need examples to make judgement.

Perhaps professor's opinion on applicant is also informative to adcom, examples can be put into essay. If the professors are willing to spend time on telling those examples, it is surely much better, but it is well known that professors don't have so much time.

It is not good to let the professor know that you've read the letter because it is assumed to be confidential...I think one-page letter is enough, but it seems that the letter you described is not helpful. Maybe you need to find someone else who really knows you at greater depth. (I also had such letters before, but I did NOT use them after reading the content...)

One page should be fine, be normal and hurry up.

But anything in the letter should be true and relevant. No one cares about flattering words.

flattering words? u think those professors are like the ones in 新东方? hehe
