Potential New Members This Is Important

I'm helping my sister out with recs right now, and am NONE too happy with our former high school. Everyone that works there has dropped off the face of the earth. My sister, our mom, and I have all tried calling and emailing in order to get a copy of her transcripts. The guidance counselor has gone on a vacation to Europe for 6 weeks, and the principal is not responding. The only people we've heard from are teachers (who can't access her transcripts), and the school Alumni coordinator, who can't access them either, but is trying to figure if he can temporarily just to help my sister out.

Blah.

Otherwise, IrishJunior will have a great recruitment application and hopefully a few recs.

I don't post often, but I wanted to suggest calling the district office for transcripts. The office is open year round. It should be easy to find the number in the phone book in the government pages under schools.

Good luck

She went to a small private school. No luck. Good idea though! I'll tell my mom to contact someone at the affiliated church, and see if they can give some insight or advice.

On the other side of this coin...don't exaggerate or straight up lie. You will get pwned if you do. Watching the Jerry Lewis Telethon for 5 minutes does not make you a "Muscular Dystrophy Association volunteer."

Not everyone was president or chair of something. Don't say you were if you weren't. Everyone in a sorority (even at a supercompetitive school) was not Tracy Flick. I just feel like PNMs are going to look at the first post in this thread and say "oh God, I have NOTHING, I'm not even going to try to rush."
