This is a good idea, but the OP also needs to meet the GC. The IB coordinator does not write the student's college recommendation.

<p>The OP is just a rising sophomore and won't need a recommendation for two years. The GC sounds as if she's already overworked and understaffed and will have her hands full in the fall with her seniors. That's why I think the OP should back off the GC and concentrate on his/her academic and EC accomplishments.</p>
