For quite a few of D’s recommendations last year I printed out the CA recommendation form, had D fill out her info and sign the top part, then attached an addressed and stamped envelope, her activities resume and her theatre resume (for reference when they wrote the rec). She then handed it personally to the teachers who had agreed to write the recs for her. She explained that because of the need to schedule auditions, it needed to be mailed in ASAP.

There was such a backlog thru Naviance, I worried about waiting. Yes we were kind of a pain for the GC last fall but I didn’t care. She was clueless about the extra work applying to performing arts schools entailed…
