A little of all three. We do try to keep some balance by house - but we're looking to add between 8 and 10 new counsellors from your year, and it may not be perfectly balanced.
As to what I - we - consider, you're quite close. I'm looking at how well someone works with younger students, whether they've been able to help create connections within their House and between their House and others, how they've handled chances to show leadership or self-reliance. And of course, those in CCF have a definite edge this year.
I know there will be some very hard decisions to make about who to choose, but I'm glad you're interested: do stop up and get an application when you get a chance, or you could grab one tonight before class.
