Is anyone else having/had trouble getting items vital to nominations (transcript, GPA, etc.) from their school? My school is not being very cooperative despite multiple visits and emails. School has also been out for a week (we got out May 22nd), so I don't understand what their problem is.
I realize that the stuff doesn't need to be in till September-ish for my particular nominating sources, but I was trying to get this all done before school starts in August for me (when again, they'll be extrememly busy changing schedules, etc.) Also, I will be out of town from this Sat to early July, so something less to worry about was what I was aiming for by finishing early.
Has anyone else had this problem, and what did you do to overcome it? I don't want to irritate my contact points at the school (I think they're already getting tired of me), but my school isn't what you would call an "average" school (as I've mentioned before, my school district is currently under academic probation). They've had students apply to regular colleges but I don't think that they understand the complexity of the application to a service academy. I don't believe that I'm annoying them with constant requests, but I fear their patience is wearing thin with me. I realize that the road to apply for a service academy is filled with these potholes... But I'm looking for some asphalt to fill this one in
Sigh... Apologies for my rant
that went on longer than I expected.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
