Q about supplemental recs...

<p>For dartmouth, I'm writing my friend a peer rec...in the case that it actually turns out alright, would it be frowned upon for me to send it to schools like Princeton as a supplemental rec? Or are supplemental recs usually from coaches, summer instructors, etc?</p>

<p>you would have to contact those other schools. I would guess that if they cared about what a peer has to say, they would require it themselves. Best of luck in writing your peer rec (I had to write 2 this year!).</p>

<p>I had the same question. Assuming it is good, could it be sent to a school like princeton which allows for optional recs (From anyone who knows you well)?</p>

<p>Or will they instantly be like "Oh just a kid trying to get some more leverage by using something they needed for Dartmouth"</p>

<p>Just make sure that it actually adds something to the quality of your application, and it's good to send.</p>

<p>I think it would be OK to send it to Princeton, based on what they said.</p>
