<p>The counselor who handled my counselor report for freshman admissions no longer works at my old high school...so should I give the Secondary Report to the new counselor, who can't fill out questions like "How do you rate this student in terms of academic achievement, extracurricular accomplishments, etc" or should I give it to another school official "who knows [me] better," like the CA suggests? If so, whom could I give it to? A teacher?</p>
<p>Also (and please pardon my ignorance here), I'm trying to figure out whom I need to give the College Official's Report to. The CA website says the dean--does that mean the Dean of Students? That's the only dean that Google will pull up for my school.</p>
<p>Maybe you should ask your school to help you contact your old counselor for that. It could help. Or have a different counselor who actually knows you well enough to write you a recommendation.</p>
<p>I gave the College Official’s Report to my adviser. You can always make a few anonymous phone calls and find out the right person at your school.</p>
<p>Give the Dean’s Report to your advisor. Ditto what college_ruled said, but not sure about the anonymous part. Call your school and let them know that you need the report. Teachers aren’t really school officials in the strict sense, so you’ll need a counselor/registrar/administrator, not a faculty member; but don’t quote me on that - ask around and see what the consensus is on that.</p>
<p>I’m hesitant about having my academic adviser fill it out, because he’s already writing one of my LORs. Guess I’m in a pickle here…</p>
<p>Wayward, I meant anonymously finding out whom to give the report to. Of course, the meeting where the form is filled out must happen in person, but there is no need to tell administrators who don’t need to know.</p>
<p>Angel, the person who writes your recs will find out that you are transferring anyways, because s/he will have to mail your recs.</p>
<p>CR - gotcha. </p>
<p>AS - A risky move to have an advisor do a LOR considering they’re really not in a position to judge you academically (except where your GPA/stats stack up with respect to those of other students) or speak to your abilities in a classroom setting. IMHO.</p>
<p>Actually, my adviser taught my freshman seminar, so he knows me pretty well.</p>
<p>Brilliant! Two birds with one stone.</p>
