May I submit supplementary recommendations?
Applicants may choose to submit additional letters of recommendation from other
members of the community but these are not required. Dartmouth requires the
following letters of recommendation: a letter from a high school guidance
counselor or principal; two letters from teachers of any academic subject; and
a peer evaluation. The teacher recommendations are usually written by 11th or
12th grade teachers, but this is not a requirement. The recommendation letters
provide us with insight into the student’s contributions to particular classes,
the greater school community, as well as his or her personal qualities and
potential.
