Counselor Brag Sheet

Student Questionnaire for Counselor Letter of Recommendation

Brag sheets are a way for you to help your counselor write letters of recommendation.
These forms give them more insight into who you are outside of school and your
interests. Fill out this form, and share it with your counselor when you request your
letter via email.

This form is for students to fill out.

Complete this form to help your counselor write a letter of recommendation on your behalf. Keep in
mind, the more specific the details you can give, the more personal and effective your recommendation
will be. Don’t forget to take the time to thank your teacher!
