<p>I was very happy to supply a parent brag sheet to my kids counselors’ - one in a big public HS, the other in a small private prep. Same questions asked on both.
The counselors used them as starting points for their LORs. I saw them as tools for more information for the GC - why would that be elitist? It’s not as if we were giving info about country club memberships or family pedigree or annual salaries.
We were asked, for example, to give 5 adjectives that describe each child. My Ds regular counselor left on emergency sick leave in September - the replacement counselor knew NOTHING about any of the students. My H and I were happy to provide that info.
As I said upthread, we did not mention our living overseas or our extensive travel. Those facts really did not give any insight into our children’s personalities or strengths or weaknesses.</p>
