I'm writing a peer rec

<p>... does anyone have advice on what to put in this thing?</p>

<p>actually i'm writing two, both for dartmouth <em>sigh</em></p>

<p>what's dartmouth looking for?</p>

<p>I really think that the best thing you can do for your friends is to provide Dartmouth with insights about them (hopefully positive) that the school will not find in the teacher or counselor recommendations. Although your friends may be great students, the teachers will cover that. Try to focus on something that you're sure teachers aren't aware of, or just give an honest opinion about why you're friends with those people.</p>

<p>thanks, i think i'll try to fit some anecdotes in there, of course</p>

<p>man, what a burden on us. we have to do other apps too X(
oh well, anything for a friend, right?</p>
