| I just can't pass up these transfer threads!
AmenoMusicista,
I'm not an advocate for being mean to people, but you might have to go in and act like a parent who's paying good money for their kid go to this school. As someone whose parents live in another state, I've had to learn how to assert myself when I'm being shortchanged. As a transfer student, I know how stressful it can be applying to Barnard while trying to stay on top of your work during the semester. The application process becomes a class in itself!
With that said - He's your ADVISOR. In case he hasn't checked the job description, it means that IT'S HIS JOB to fill out the form and help you do whatever it is you need to do to succeed at whatever it is you want to do. If that means he needs to help you get into Barnard, then he needs to get with the program - ASAP. Right now, you still attend Kutztown University. Which means every minute you spend there costs you. Which means you deserve a little customer service in exchange for your money. Which means he needs to fill out the form - ASAP.
Do you know who his boss is? One thing you could do is shoot him a very kind email saying that you understand that this is short notice, but that you did talk to him beforehand and can't afford for him not to fulfill the promise he made you. Carbon copy whoever he reports to. It always works like magic for me...
If that doesn't work, keep going up the chain of command. Someone there has to have an ounce of sense that tells them that someone at that school is going to have to fill out the form. Whether its the president of the university or someone who works in the department of your major. Someone needs to fill out the form - ASAP.
If I were you, I wouldn't let the people you pay get away with not helping you.
Best wishes,
