<p>Hey guys. So I just found out about this peer recommendation thing and I was wondering-- my best friend doesn't have an email, so I can't invite her to do it on the common app! Is there a paper form or something? Please help!!!</p>
<p>Why can’t your friend just create a one time account on yahoo or gmail for this purpose?</p>
<p>Anyway, nothing stopping your friend from writing the letter and mailing it hardcopy (certified / return receipt) to the admin office. A teacher for one of my DSs did this and he got into a couple Ivys with a hardcopy letter.</p>
<p>Cause my friend’s a pain… but my pain.
So do you know if there’s a specific form they’re supposed to fill out? </p>
<p>No specific form required. My older DS wrote the peer review for his younger brother. It was a standard page and half letter. No special form or anything. </p>
<p>Yes, a sibling can write it too, especially if the older sibling is also at a top school already and doing well. Worked for my younger DS. Got into Dartmouth, but another two Ivys were higher on his list and he got into those too, so he went to one of those instead.</p>
<p>Good luck in motivating your friend to get in gear and write your review.</p>
