Can I send a peer recommendation...?

<p>I want to send a peer recommendation that I got for one school to others, but many of them don't specifically ask for it. I was wondering if any schools would mind if I sent it even if they don't ask for it.</p>

<p>Admission officers will only look at admission materials they specifically requested for. If they didn’t ask you to send a peer recommendation letter, don’t send it. I’ve never even heard of such rec letters being sent–only teacher recs. X:</p>

<p>Unless the school requests such a recc, don’t bother to send it.</p>

<p>to the two above,</p>

<p>not always true. You should ask the college admission. I sent a peer rec even though it wasn’t required, but the admission officer said that they would appreciate the rec when I asked him.</p>

<p>^ to which school did you send the peer recommendation to? Because I was thinking of doing the same.</p>

<p>Plus, there’s no harm in sending it, right?</p>

<p>If they don’t strictly say NOT to, it won’t hurt. Some of my schools only requested 2 LoRs, and I sent 3- was admitted to all of them. If the admissions officer doesn’t want to read it, they won’t, but it will not hurt you (assuming the letter is good).</p>

<p>Dartmouth requires peer recs, but that’s all I know of.</p>

<p>Davidson has a required peer recommendation form. And Duke’s is optional.</p>
