<p>Hello! I'm an international and am applying to Dartmouth RD. One of my good friends has promised to do mypeer rec but being from outside the States, we have no idea what a peer rec's supposed to be like. So my question is..:
Where can i find samples of peer recommendations?</p>
<p>Bleh - you aren't going to find samples anywhere. Just make sure your friend knows that this part of the application is the place to let the college know something about you that isn't already apparent from other parts of the application - in other words, it should not be so much about your academic, extra curricular etc acheivements as about your your character or your unique appeal as an individual. Its an opportunity to give an extra dimension to you as an applicant. If possible, your friend should think about trying to "show, not tell". In other words, not simply say that Bleh has such and such qualities but rather describe an incident or situation that illustrates those qualities. The peer recommendation is actually a nice, extra opportunity for you to stand out as an applicant.</p>
