<p>My physics teacher i entrusted to do one of my form 145’s. I knew it was gutsy since he is strongly against military but i had him for both my senior and junior year so im stuck with that one.</p>
<p>Anyways, he didnt date the form or fill out the comments section and already mailed it off.</p>
<p>I tried calling my counselor a couple times over the past few days and they dont return calls, the directory disconnects. My favorite is “Please press 0 for more assistance…::presses 0::… Your entry, 0, is not a valid entry…goodbye!”</p>
<p>Any suggestions? Can i have my teacher fill out a seperate form with jsut comments, put a name sticker on it and mail that? Hopefully that will work but its quite irksome…</p>
<p>I think as long as you have the sticker with your name and social security number, and it has all the necessary info, you should be good. Try calling your admissions counselor and asking them what the correct procedure is in this situation.</p>
<p>Ouch...I feel for you. That was something I worried about but thankfully didn't have happen. </p>
<p>One question though...you said you had to give it to your physics teacher? If I remember correctly, only math and english were required with an option on the other.</p>
<p>Yeah falcon is right, it was an option for the 3rd. You could probably get a history teacher or some other science like a chem teacher or something.</p>
<p>Yeah i know about the option (last year it had to be phys or chem). I chose my phys teacher cause i did the best in that class.</p>
<p>My counselor never called back (they never do....) but i dropped a paper off at my phys teachers room with my name, SSN number and a sticker, with place for his signature, date, and place to write. Since you can do that with several of the other forms im hoping its not a problem.</p>
<p>I would'nt think that's a problem, but if it is, they will notify you. I was missing a piece of information on one of my forms, and they called and left me a message and also sent the form back to me so i could complete it and send it back.</p>
<p>Deffinately. My counselor even knows who i am and said some good things to my parents (i wasnt home when she called), especially since this is my second year working with her and i am calling so often.</p>
<p>The counselors don't have any affect on anything though, right? Because I've only called mine like once or twice. I haven't really had any trouble with anything to do with the application</p>
<p>I agree with PatriotCPM. If there's no reason to get to know your counselor well, you shouldn't have to. If I've done everything right, barring unforseen circumstances, I shouldn't have to get in touch with the counselor. It shouldn't effect the admissions, and if it does I would be very dissapointed.</p>
<p>Quick question- how do you convert a 100% scale grade to a GPA out of 4.0? I thought it might just be you divide your percent grade/100 by 25 to get your GPA out of 4.0, but I think this might be wrong.</p>
<p>A bit of guidance I gave my son was to put some human touch into this process - even if things are going smooth. Following up with the AFA counselor and the MOC coordinators helps to put a personality to a file - so it's more than a stack of papers. I wouldn't underestimate the importance of these folks. I think it's a good thing to let them know their hard work is appreciated. It won't make or break an admission, but it's a good business lesson to learn.</p>
<p>My son found a site on the internet that converts to GPA's based upon 4 from grades based upon 100. As I recall, 98, 99 and 100 all converted to a 4.0. Try a google search. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>I googled GPA conversion and a few sites came up, so thank you for that advice. My GPA out of 4.0 is a little low, 3.4, but it is unweighted and I took a pretty rigorous courseload, so I'm really hoping they convert it to an unweighted. On the Application status page, it wasn't weighted at all, it was exactly what I had (unweighted). This makes me a little nervous.</p>
<p>I think they convert everyone's to an unweighted 4.0 scale so they are more easily compared. Mine is 4.0 but I am ranked 12th in my class because they go off of weighted GPA's for the rankings. I am in band and golf which are both unweighted classes as where the people ahead of me took useless weighted courses in place of sports and arts (classes like Computer Science II, Art Appreciation, and Spanish 4).</p>
<p>Well my GPA WAS indeed weighted with AP and honors courses and it showed up last year as its weighted grade. It was a 4.05 or something but at my school thats only top 15%, although my school has an academic constant of 1.6 which is very helpful.</p>
<p>Well this is great....both my English teachers Evaluation and my Physics teachers' evaluation we're lost somewhere along the way (they sent them out 2+ weeks ago, and I called yesterday and they dont have them). Now i have to wait for blank forms to be sent, an opportunity to go back home (I'm at college right now), them to get it done, and then for the forms to get there. I was banking on them being there like a week ago, so this is going to delay the completion of my file for a bit.....</p>
