The brag sheet is to help your Guidance Counselor when they are writing a recommendation letter for you.

What the admissions people see is your Common App Application/essay.

Your GC may not know a lot about you, so this is your chance to let them know.

We have two brag sheets: Student and Parents. It might be good to get some input from your parents as well as input to your school’s brag sheet.
