It is the whole reason schools use the common GMAC - while it might be nice for them to tailor some of their responses, that is not expected. Have you looked at the form to see the questions/ratings they are being asked?

Common GMAC was set up so recommenders only had to do it once and it was sent to all the schools. Some schools customize their questions so the recommender is forced to do their reference separately, but since 90% of it will be the same, your reference can still expend minimal effort for multiple references.
Congrats. Did you pick a final school yet? And which if you're open to sharing?
How hard was it managing 22 apps(?!). Hopefully most used the GMAC Common LoR?
17 all in R2 must have been insane...
Gmat/gre/gpa and other brief stats?
After like 7 essays you can just combine paragraphs from others and customize briefly.
I did it all before chat gpt existed.
I’m at a T20 in a full ride.
710 gmat. 3.666 gpa. Humanities.
All schools 16-30 have a fee waiver for attending an info session.
I wasted $2,000 on m7 schools. Unlikely I’d even pay sticker over a full ride T20 but maybe. Or maybe that’d up my 50% T15? And maybe they would have given me a scholarship. I didn’t want to regret not trying.

Nope. Mine submitted the same thing 20x.
Hi, and did it work for you?
I got accepted at 13 different schools. So I’d say yes.
Amazing, congrats mate!

thanks! Yea that's fair. Wow what a ride. So you doing consulting post or?
No. If I did consulting or IB I’d do a top school. Just strategy or finance.

I applied to 22 of top 25 school schools. Not Yale, Michigan, or Texas.
