Do I need a letter of recommendation from my counselor?

I am applying to schools like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford. On the common application for the schools, it says:

“You must invite a school Counselor who will complete the School Report and other forms for you.”

Does this mean I will need my counselor to actually write out an entire recommendation letter for me, or will he just be filling out some forms to describe me?

Thank you for your help!

Your school counselor will know exactly what he/she needs to do. School guidence counselors complete a form for ever student who applies to colleges. They will send that to every school you request a transcript be sent to.

OK, so I don’t need him to write out a formal letter? I’m panicking because I already asked for him to write me a letter, but I wouldn’t want to submit it then since my dance coach is writing my supplement rec and I already have two teacher recs.

So I need him to fill out some form? Not write me a formal letter to submit?
