Bullis School College Counseling Student Self Evaluation - Questionnaire II DIRECTIONS: We used your responses from our first questionnaire to aid us in our initial college explorations with you. It is now time to turn our attention to how we will relay your unique personality, interests and characteristics to colleges and universities. Your responses to the following questions will help us immeasurably as we attempt to capture “your story” in our school recommendations. You will also find that completing this form will provide you important practice as many of these questions appear on the college applications you’ll be completing very soon. Please submit this questionnaire to the College Counseling Dropbox in Haiku by August 30th.
