<p>I doubt it's that big a deal. When the form arrives, it'll be scanned and saved as a file associated with your name and other details. If you don't send the form or send an additional sheet, they'll just scan it in as well. Either way, when admissions officers look at your application, they'll see the form and/or any additional documents sent by you. It doesn't matter too much how you send the information, as long as you send what they need in a format they can scan.</p>
<p>it's not a big deal at all. do you really think they're going to be like "oh look, somebody chose to use a computer in the year 2008? that's absurd. throw this out" ... no.</p>
<p>trust, it's been on there for a while. i've written eight of these over the past few years, and i had one written for me. all nine associated people have had "see attached" written on their peer evals, and all nine have been admitted. and no, none were legacies or recruited athletes.</p>
<p>it's REALLY not a big deal.</p>
<p>trust johnleemk, he works in admissions (i think).</p>
<p>Is it required that the peer evaluator sign their names? My friend sent hers through e-mail to me because she can't stop by the post office (I'm sending it out).</p>
<p>Will I receive anything from admissions once I send my friends eval and they receive it?</p>
<p>do you think it is a problem if my app is in by the deadline, but my peer eval comes in a few days late? (sorry if this has already been asked)</p>
<p>Don't worry about it too much. They'll understand.</p>
<p>"anyone CAN write one ... i would advise against a sibling/parent/not-really-peer, b/c, well ... it's supposed to be a peer. get a friend to do it."</p>
<p>That advice is pretty general. Sometimes, siblings can also be "peers" - like when they're very close in age and very good friends as well as just siblings. If the situation warrants, I think a peer evaluation from a sibling is a great idea. Actually, I think it says something about siblings who do consider themselves as "friends."</p>
<p>Im confused.....typing is okay right?
and just writing see attached in the spaces...
I am too scared I will make mistakes writing it by hand and it will look bad.....</p>
<p>Could someone PM a peer evaluation to me? I am supposed to be writing one for a friend for Dartmouth, but have no clue what to write. :(</p>
<p><<could someone="" pm="" a="" peer="" evaluation="" to="" me?="" i="" am="" supposed="" be="" writing="" one="" for="" friend="" dartmouth,="" but="" have="" no="" clue="" what="" write.="">></could></p>
<p>You know this person, right? Think of a classic moment that demonstrates the essence of who your friend is and what he or she would bring to the campus community. Write about it. Remember that they want to know something that brings your friend alive to them.</p>
<p>The post office is closed today (the 1st of Jan). Will it really matter if my friend sends in my peer rec tomorrow on the 2nd?</p>
<p>Glam, I doubt it. Most schools spend a couple of weeks after the application deadline just opening envelopes and getting all the submissions collated and scanned and so forth. Or so I've heard. The likelihood is that your peer rec will arrive before your app is reviewed.</p>
<p>But don't tell your friend or s/he will simply procrastinate longer! ;)</p>

<p>I second this question.</p>
<p>^I'd say that depends. Did you send in the self-addressed postcard?</p>
<p>Emergency!- please answer!!!!
I sent my scores to Dartmouth but the collegeboard website says it is pending right now - I thought I rush reported, but am not sure - Am i dead? because i'm soo about to freak!!!!!</p>
<p>And collegeboard is closed for the weekend and so is Dartmouth!!!!! - they dont have my scores</p>
<p>^I've read that schools don't like rush reports. They're harder to process or something.</p>
<p>I think as long as you've submitted the supp and app you should be okay. But definitely call during the week.</p>
<p>i am getting a student at dartmouth who was a leader and mentor to me as well as a fellow leader later on in highschool, do you think this will help at all?</p>
<p>It certainly won’t hurt. The main benefit of getting a Dartmouth student to write it is that he/she knows what kinds of students get into Dartmouth and can portray you as such. However, you probably shouldn’t worry too much about who writes your evaluation. The important thing is that it confirms the type of person you seem to be in your application, while also adding some new information about what you would bring to the Dartmouth community.</p>
<p>“What are the first words that come to your mind to describe this candidate?”
Do we literally just type in words to describe the candidate, or should we explain?</p>
<p>Do you actually someone you go to school with or who lives near you to write the rec? I’d like my best friend to write mine, but we have never gone to school together, we met through summer camp, and she lives in KS while i live in MD. My second choice actually lives even further away (Switzerland), I just want to make sure someone who can do a really good job of showing who I am will be allowed to write my rec.</p>
