I was a lackluster student and got my GED a couple of years ago. I wasn’t a trouble maker, but I doubt I left much of an impression on anyone. I would like to study film at NYU or Cal Arts, but I have no way to get three letters of recommendation. I’m somewhat confident with my portfolio/act scores - is there a way around this? My only work experience is with my parents, so I doubt their letter would carry much weight.
Why not go back to your high school, visit guidance and discuss your dilemma. Bring them your portfolio and tell your story. Maybe you can meet with some old teachers who might be proud to hear how far you’ve come. Hopefully they will be able to write you a letters of recommendations after they have met you and see what you’ve accomplished.
