<p>So these are the questions to the evaluation:
How long have you known this candidate and in what context?</p>

<p>What are the first words that come to your mind to describe this candidate?</p>

<p>We would appreciate a statement, on the second page of this form, based on your knowledge and observation of this candidate. We suggest a candid statement, covering both personal and academic qualities. Specific anecdotes are much more helpful than general observations.</p>

<p>We are interested in learning about this student’s contributions to school or community, ability to work with others, and his/her interests, special talents, and experiences. Do you have any reservations about his/her application to Dartmouth? We welcome all comments you feel are relevant.</p>

<p>I know it's not specified, but are there any general word limits we should have for each part? Also should I have the peer type them and I'm supposed to staple his evaluation to the supplement form?</p>

<p>It should be as long as it takes for him or her to get his or her points across. (If you want a more exact answer I would say 1-2 page double spaced)</p>

<p>And yes while it can be hand written, typed tends to be easier. So just staple the recommendation to the Peer Recommendation form. </p>

<p>Sir, I’m glad that you are also here offering help. I’m the peer evaluator of my friend. I decided to print the statement on the paper but I got a big problem that I wrote almost 800 words! I changed the size of the words so they can fit the space given, but, is it too long? I think I write all I want to write about her, and I don’t mean to shorten it. However, if necessay, I will cut it down.</p>
