Writing your OWN letter of recommendation

<p>The thing is, if you do get caught doing that, your chances to attend any college other than a community college will be 0.</p>

<p>It boggles me that Dartmouth ONLY requires the peer supplement. This isn't the first time I have heard of a fake evaluation before. I can only imagine that dmouth takes these evaluations with a grain of salt, because so much of it could be influenced by the appliucant themselves.</p>

<p>Its no different than people cheating their asses off to get a high rank</p>

<p>Cheating happens EVERYWHERE.</p>

<p>It IS a part of high school, whether you like it or not</p>

<p>If it came to a point where you've bugged your friend until 12/31 and they still didn't write it, then I don't see why not. You've already screwed yourself over by asking a friend you couldn't trust.</p>

<p>Hmmm. I thought this kind of thing doesn't work, because if you're accepted there is always a call back to the sender to verify (but apparently not). And to be considered, it has to be on an official letterhead, though I suppose it could be stolen from the school's office. Plus, recs that don't come from school teachers or counselors are ignored anyway, I always thought. Must depend on the school.</p>

<p>haha, that's great. but that's pretty much your essay, it defines who you are to the admissions office.</p>
