Counselor Evaluations - College Applications
Counselor Evaluations for College Applications
It is the responsibility of the student to confirm a counselor evaluation is required as part of their university application/s. Not all schools require letters, or they may require teacher recommendations only. It IS NOT necessary to request a counselor evaluation in SCOIR the same way a letter is requested of a teacher. Counselor materials are included with school-provided documents (transcript, school profile). Please DO NOT request a counselor evaluation through the Common App directly, or include your counselor's email address in any sections of the Common App.
Counselors need your help to ensure your evaluation is strong - we know different students to varying degrees. Submit the Counselor Evaluation Google Form no less than three (3) weeks ahead of a student's first letter deadlines.
| Application Deadline | Brag Sheet Due |
| November 1 | October 10 |
| November 15 | October 25 |
| December 1 | November 10 |
| December 20 - January 15 | December 1 |
Our goal is to do more than recount your transcript, the information you provide in the Counselor Evaluation Google Form directly impacts letters! Counselor Evaluations are best when they share:
- evidence of academic growth
- skill development
- application of learning in the world
- connections across disciplines
- capacity for impact on the university/learning community
