Help/Schools that don't require Instructor Evaluations- Transfer

College Search & Selection

<p>** I posted in that fourm also :)
Is there a list out there of schools that don't require a letter of recommendation to transfer? I've googled it and searched here and all I get is responses that don't require an essay.</p>

<p>The reason I'm asking this is because my two FAVORITE FAVORITE schools do require them, but I have really no hope of those schools anymore so I'm trying to find other options where I could be happy at also. </p>

<p>I know Lehigh doesn't require one, and that's one of my favorites but most of them do require a letter.</p>

<p>*Disclaimer: I'm not at the university I was first semester, I'm at the local community college; I'm ~5 hours away from said university. I'm taken the time to my three professors (from last semester, previous university) really in-depth emails about the process and asking for recommendations- this was 3 weeks ago, I never heard ANYTHING back from them, not even a response telling me they didn't feel comfortable doing them, just nothing. So a week & a half ago, I sent a follow up email just stating the due date, and adding if they didn't feel confident in doing one to let me know ASAP because I need to find something. I called two days ago, none have returned my phone calls. I feel like I'm stuck against a wall. </p>

<p>Since I'd be transferring as a sophomore these three teachers are really my only options (I took three classes only because one was 6 credits, 1 was 4 and one was 3- All honors; I took another 2 credit gym to fulfill my club sporting requirement (was no instructor)</p>

<p>I can't do another semester here- it's not an option because my mother just accepted a job that she'll start mid summer as a CEO in Vegas, and my dad got a job similar to his now (college instructor) and I REALLY think it would look bad to attend a THIRD college and attempt to transfer</p>

<p>so yeah;
does anyone have a list of schools that don't require instructor evaluations?</p>

<p>this is a tough question to answer really. I don’t know what area of the country you are looking at schools. Lehigh in PA? James Madison doesn’t require recs (though they allow one rec, just not required).</p>

<p>haha yeah, It’s seems really general I was just looking to see if there was a list
and yeah Lehigh in PA is a top choice but a definite reach</p>

<p>I’m looking all over the country really except the midwest (not including texas, or the south)</p>

<p>I don’t know if it helps but I attended Penn State University and am not really interested in state schools due to their size</p>
