<p>1) Counselor I put- if they have a fancy title, put that instead.
2) I would.
3) It's interesting. Students who grew up speaking a different language (not English, I mean) probably have an interesting way of talking (expressions usually). If you use the language around the house, you're probably more involved in that culture (vs. someone who was born in America and spoke English their entire life).
4) You're not supposed to. Basically, any random stuff that doesn't fit in the rest of your app should go there. If you have any weird or low stuff (GPA, SATs, whatever), it's a good spot to explain.
5) They'd want your sealed transcript, at least- I don't know if they would want anything else. (Sorry :( )</p>
