<p>Say what if your "enemy" or a jealous friend wrote a terrible untruthful peer evaluation on purpose and sent it to Dartmouth behind your back and against your will. There's pretty much nothing you can do about it right?</p>
<p>Kinda your fault for choosing that person…</p>
<p>No, I didn’t choose him, he printed/sent the evaluation against my wishes.</p>
<p>Email: <a href=“mailto:Admissions.Office@Dartmouth.Edu”>Admissions.Office@Dartmouth.Edu</a> and they will be able to disregard it</p>
<p>this raises another question… what if you have a good friend that would normally write you a great recommendation, but is also very competitive and so would write a mediocre evaluation since he is applying to dartmouth as well? i feel like other students cant be trusted…</p>
<p>I think you guys are putting too much worry into this. While the peer rec will be looked at, I strongly doubt it would break any application.</p>
<p>Omegaz, sending a note to the admission office together with the right peer. rec. should work out, don’t worry,…</p>
<p>Overall, I suppose you simply don’t choose your competitive schoolmate who’s applying to Dartmouth as well,… 
and honestly, this form of supplement is much more comfortable than 3 extra essays (Brown) or thousands of tuns of other forms to fill,. and it can reveal things which you’re not able to put inside the “boxes” of the official applicaion (and it’s not up to you in the end),… I mean, I really like it :)</p>
<p>a good friend wouldn’t really write a bad evaluation on purpose… even if he/she is also applying to dartmouth
Besides don’t u guys ever talk about the evaluation before he/she actually writes the thing???
i know me and my bff talked about it and she even asked me whether if it was ok to mention some of the stuff she wanted to say…</p>
<p>I think the op is saying that some jealous student wrote a negative peer rec without op’s request and sent it to dartmouth. If so, definitely go by masonfactor’s advice.</p>
<p>In terms of getting a competitive friend who writes a negative rec, I think it would be pretty obvious to the Dartmouth admissions officers if that were the case…the same regional officer would read both applications, see that one has a rec from the other and that it is negative to the point that it go against the grain of what all others have said. In that case, the officer would probably look very negatively upon the person who wrote the rec, because he/she would be perceived as too competitive and lacking integrity, while the rec itself is disregarded.</p>
<p>@Ephemeral I’m pretty sure that Dartmouth doesn’t have regional readers. </p>
<p>Honestly it shouldn’t be that big of a deal, just follow masonfactor’s advice. As for the value of the peer rec, I would say it’s one of the better supplements offered by colleges. The entire point of any kind of recommendation is to give the admissions office a sense of who you are behind your numbers. A teacher can write a great recommendation pointing to who you are as a student, but a true peer can provide valuable insight that would otherwise have gone unnoticed.</p>
