Peer Evaluations - Questions

<p>I'm writing one for a friend for Williams (hes applyin ED), and I'm havin some trouble. I've written like half a page, and I've noticed that what ive said is all good, but i havent really told the admissions about something NEW about applicant. i want to help out my friend, but i need some inspiration, and thats where you people come in. do i talk about like a certain forte of his? should i tell a small anecdote?</p>

<p>plus</p>

<p>how long should this thing be? im guessing nore more than a page and a half...</p>

<p>Also</p>

<p>if ED deadline is Nov. 10, the Peer Eval. form says "Please note there is no deadline by which the form must be received."</p>

<p>does this mean i can hand it in after the TOMORROW deadline?</p>

<p>thanks people...</p>

<p>Jvhowube, I think what you want to get across is why you really like this person. Strengths, anecdotes are good. The point is to convey a sense of his character. Williams is a small school and kids really need to work and play well together, so if this person has helped you, supported you, been there for you -- say so! It doesn't have to be gushy but it should be heartfelt. One page is fine.</p>

<p>Is having a peer evaluation really necessary for getting in, or is it actually optional? Also, where do you find the form for it. I didn't see it at the common app page. Thanks for any information.</p>

<p>hi!</p>

<p>the url is <a href="http://www.williams.edu/admission/apply_appinstructions.php%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.williams.edu/admission/apply_appinstructions.php&lt;/a> . from there find the part where it says optional peer evaluation and there it tells you where you find the form. It says it is optional. But it would be nice if you had a friend an evaluation for you.</p>
