Peer evaluation?

<p>On the online application checklist, it mentions a "peer evaluation"? What is this?</p>

<p>I think this is referencing the peer letter of Recc which is required with the submission of your application</p>

<p>But how is that different from my teachers or counselor’s recommendation?</p>

<p>It comes from a peer, a friend – someone in a more equal relationship with you than that of teacher-student and thus someone who knows you (and aspects of you) in a different way.</p>

<p>Ok big problem: I didn’t realize that it was required, and now everything is sent. Is there any way that I can fix this?!</p>

<p>You shouldn’t have been allowed to submit the application without assigning your additional (peer) rec on Common App’s recommenders page because Dartmouth requires one.</p>

<p>Oh ok I did assign an additional recommender, so I guess they just used that. Ahhh ok thank you so much. I was beginning to become quite worried!</p>

<p>Well it depends - is your additional recommender a peer? Dartmouth specifically asks for one of those [url=&lt;a href=“Apply to Dartmouth | Dartmouth Admissions”&gt;Apply to Dartmouth | Dartmouth Admissions]here[/url</a>].</p>
