[quote=Anonymous]Counselor here. I only complete the required questions. In the Common App/NACAC counselor forms, there are a couple I happily skip, because I hate being asked to compare students to their peers. We are required to answer the question of how strongly we recommend a student. I always select "enthusiastically recommend" (except on the rare occasion I have serious reservations). The Georgetown form is tough. OP, I wonder if this is the form you're filling out. So many subjective questions asking us to compare students to their peers. These questions are required, so I answer them, but it's so frustrating. I usually ask myself, "What are the traits I admire most about this student?" Then, in all those categories, I select "top 1% in my career." I go with the second best option for almost everything else. [/quote]
