Senior Counseling Questionnaire
Senior Counseling Questionnaire
What: A very important part of many of your college applications will be a Counselor Recommendation. In order to write
the best recommendation possible for you, we are asking for your timely and thorough completion of the Senior
Counseling Questionnaire & Activity Resume.
Why: The more you share with your counselor in the Senior Counseling Questionnaire, the more he or she will be able to
share with colleges about you. Your counselors job is to give the most comprehensive portrait possible of you as both a
student and a whole person. While your teacher recommendations will give an overview of you academically, your
counselor will present you from multiple viewpoints (socially, emotionally, extracurriculars, etc.). To this end, please
answer the enclosed questions as authentically and as thoughtfully as possible. This is not an academic essay so please
do not worry about grammar or structure! Write freely. Imagine everything you want your counselor to say about you
and then say it!
Completing an Activity Resume has a two-fold purpose: it will provide your counselor with a list of your activities and it
will prepare you for the part of your college applications that asks you to list all of your activities.
How to complete your Senior Counseling Questionnaire and the Activity Resume: Please answer the below questions
on a separate sheet of paper, please type if possible. Make sure your name is on your responses. Attach your Activity
Resume to this document. Please print these documents and put into your college folder that you will receive in Fall
2016.
