<p>I would love for my sister to be able to write my peer rec, I mean she really is one of my best friends and knows me better than anybody else..
What is the policy on this, does anybody know?</p>
<p>anybody???</p>
<p>Hmm, that's a little iffy. I probably wouldn't do it. I mean, whose sister wouldn't write them a glowing letter?</p>
<p>Someone on another mentioned that the peer rec. really won't make or break your application. Choose someone you feel knows you well, and can candidly describe you as person. I don't think choosing your sister is going to hurt your app., same thing as choosing a lifelong best friend, or something like that...</p>
<p>Well Kristina, who has a friend (that you CHOOSE to write this) that isn't gonna write a glowing rec..I think its about the little, personal anecdotes..not simply words used for description</p>
<p>I would probably just stick to a friend.</p>
<p>Yes, you can use your sister to write your rec (you won't be the first person to use a sibling).</p>
<p>Up close and personal from a sib is fine.</p>
<p>sybbie: whaddya doin' up so early/late?</p>
<p>My favorite lounge lizard is still asleep because she went out to dinner with a couple of her friends who are 7's. From dinner they went a birthday party that one of the 6's had so she got in late. Her favorite dog, who is oh so considerate of her came to see guess who because she needed to go for a walk. </p>
<p>So since I was up and could not get back to sleep...</p>

<p>I personally would stay away from a sibling, because of the message it conveys.</p>
<p>^ Yeah. They might think you didn't have any other friends...</p>
<p>I think if you have a choice between a student you knows you inside the classroom and out, and a sibling, you would be better served by having the letter come from a student.</p>
<p>i wrote something for my boyfriend.</p>
<p>Did you clarify the nature of your relationship?</p>
