“And for the record, if you do file a FERPA request, I would recommend doing so after you’ve enrolled rather than now between your admission and enrolling. Probably being overly paranoid here, but I just have a bad feeling about doing something like this before you’re officially a student and it becomes much harder for the school to do anything to you about it if it ruffles any feathers.”
Second this, especially because FERPA only applies to enrolled students’ rights to see their educational records.
