<p>A close friend of mine just asked me to write her a recommendation for Dartmouth and I'll admit I have no clue what I am doing. Do you guys have any ideas/ recommendations?</p>
<p>What do you think of when you think about her? Is there something special about her that you think Dartmouth should know? (It can be hard to blow your horn; you can do it for her.) Is she someone you enjoy being in school with? Why? What has knowing her meant to you? Those are the sort of prompts I would work with. As a peer, you have a perspective different from her teachers.</p>
