<p>The first person that came to mind is my friend who I have had a few classes with throughout high school, but never became good friends until January, February of this year. Afterwards we've hung out a lot, especially over the summer, and I know she is a great writer (will the evaluations be better if you invite a peer that's a good writer?) but I'm wondering if Dartmouth will consider that she's only known me closely for less than a year.</p>
<p>Maybe it’s a good thing–Think about it! If the friendship is truly genuine, it shows that you have the ability to befriend and get along with people quickly, which can only be a positive quality when you’re going to be potentially thrown into a whole mix of people at Dartmouth from all over the country and world. If she’s a good writer, I don’t see any harm in having her write it.</p>
<p>It will not matter. If she is the best candidate for the job, let her write it. After all, Dartmouth can’t confirm when your friendship began anyway. I’m not saying that you should lie, but rather that it will not be a major factor, if at all. In fact, I’m pretty sure the Peer Evaluation is not something that they use to determine whether or not you should be accepted or declined, or so they say anyway.</p>
<p>Alright thanks! I will go with her evaluation then ~</p>
