<p>Is it advisable to use Dartmouth Peer Recommendation as supplementary recommendations to other colleges?</p>
<p>It’s ok to send it to duke, not sure about others</p>
<p>^ I’m curious, why would it be OK for Duke?</p>
<p>^ Cuz Duke’s supplement says “If there is a parent. sibling or friend who you think could help us [understand you as an individual], we’d be happy to receive a one-page letter from one of them”. Its on Question 25 (short answers and optional questions) part c.</p>
<p>This is kind of on a side note, but is it ethical to look over the peer evaluation a friend writes for you, if they are aware you are doing it that is.</p>
<p>also, is it ethical to give them suggestions on things you’d like them to mention, as long as they are obviously writing is themself?</p>
<p>I don’t see a huge problem with either. I would just make sure your friend knows before they write the rec that you plan to look at it. I mean you technically have that option on the Common App. About the suggestions, your friend may appreciate that this late in the game.</p>
<p>^ What do you mean by “you technically have that option on the Common App.”?</p>
<p>My friend was so nervous about messing it up that she showed it to me. :]
In the end, though, unless it’s abhorrent, I really doubt it will have all too much of an effect on an application.</p>
<p>If you do send it to other colleges make sure it’s worth their time.</p>
