How does my peer submit their recommendation?

The fastest and most direct way to submit a peer recommendation is by assigning and inviting your peer to complete the peer recommendation through the Common App. You will also have the option of inviting a peer to write a recommendation on your behalf via your applicant portal, which will be available to you after you submit the Common App.

While your Common App should be submitted online by the application deadline, your peer recommendation will be accepted after the deadline. It would be most helpful to our review process to receive the peer recommendation within ten days of the application deadline. We will add materials to your file as we receive them.
