@JustGraduate We shall see which schools grant the waiver, if any. I don’t know yet if the counselor letter was adequate, I was just stating that what was in it is indeed accurate. My DD has had no contact with her father since she was 6. We also had other letters from third parties. So it’s all still up in the air, but it is my understanding that not all schools automatically look at CS as contact, or that it automatically precludes you from receiving a waiver.
