Each Spring, high school guidance departments request that each rising senior and his parent(s)/guardian complete their own brag sheet. These brag sheets help the guidance counselor write his own letter of recommendation for the student . The brag sheets can be very helpful. Here are a few tips on how to complete it.
- Be descriptive: Use as many adjectives and nouns as you can to describe yourself or the student throughout the brag sheet. Tell specific examples of how and why. 
- Do not describe your weakness or biggest struggle. This will be used if you write it so leave it out. Only use positive stories and description about the student. 
- Do not list awards, honors or accomplishments. This can be found in a resume or on the application. It should not be duplicated in a letter of recommendation. 
- Do not pigeonhole yourself by mentioning a major unless you are 100% sure you want to major in that field.
