[quote=Anonymous][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.

Thank you. I’m talking about the Common App teacher one that has all the subjective ratings comparing to peers in numerous categories. Sounds like it might not be required? Do teachers typically check those boxes or skip?[/quote]
