The questionnaire is optional. If you do not want to brag, then opt to skip the questionnaire.

I want to provide useful, relevant information. I am having a hard time filling out the form. I write something and then scrap it, imagining the screening committee member rolling their eyes at my stories. I guess I just feel like as a parent, how can I be viewed as objective about my own child's brilliance? Doesn't everyone think their kid is a shining star? I'll fill it out and submit, I am just struggling right now to weed out what is truly relevant I guess.

If it helps, you can't actually write that much more than a sentence or two.

Pull up the online form and type a bit of nonsense. You will see how very little space you actually have to write something. They don't want as much information from the parents as you might think they do.

I didn't realize there was an online form. I scanned the form that came with the letter and used text boxes to fill in the information. I had plenty of space because I could choose the font and the spacing.

You might get dinged for that. They intentionally set it up so you can only give one example or maybe two short ones.

NP here, don't worry PP, I don't think they will ding the student for a parent mistake on a form.. let's at least hope not! I am not sure if what we wrote sounds too much like bragging but what other way can we communicate how why WE are referring our child? We did stay away from anything that was too subjective such as DC is THE best reader.. !!

The form also says, "responses may be pasted onto form."

I was about to have a heart attack, but yes, I read that and so decided to use a text box because it was neater than typing, cutting and pasting the responses. Well, at this point there is nothing I can do anyway, it is done.
