As we work with your son or daughter in the college research and selection process, we would like to
give you an opportunity to provide additional information that might be helpful in our work with
him/her. Please help us by responding to the optional survey below. Feel free to answer any or all
questions that seem relevant to your student, or if you would prefer, please write a letter or email. Be
funny; be serious, be proud.  We welcome any additional thoughts that you think might be helpful to your
student’s designated counselor in the months ahead.

Many thanks,
