<p>I have a very new counselor for whom this is his first year. I have spoken to him for all of 10 minutes because he just came to my school this year and my school has over 4000 students. Should I clarify on Section 1 of the application?</p>
<p>I think the counselor’s form has a check box for how well he or she knows you. I really think it’s for the counselor to say " I don’t know student x very well because I’m brand new at a huge school, but counselor y left notes about him, and all his teachers sing his praises." If you’re worried try to snag another 10 minutes with him and see what he says.</p>
