SELF-SUMMARY/MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION The counselor is often asked to assess a student’s potential regarding academic and personal qualities (character, relative maturity, integrity, values, special talents, etc.) and his/her promise as a student in the college or university setting. The counselor is asked to avoid listing student activities that are available elsewhere and to give specific events/examples and any unusual circumstances (health or financial issues, etc.) that may give added insight into the strengths and weaknesses of the candidate.

How would you assess yourself if you were writing this statement for a college? You may use an extra page if needed to write your response.
