Didn't Waive My Right to View Academic Records

by dlencz » Thu Sep 27, 2012 12:39 pm
For two schools I did not waive my right to view my academic records, figuring what's the big deal since I can't see them until after I'm enrolled anyways. Of course I later find out that the AdCom starts to question whether they can trust your recommendation letters. Well crap, my recommendation letters are the least of my worries.

Is there anything I can do to fix the situation?? One recommender has already submitted for both and the other is about to. Should I send an e-mail to AdCom letting them know that they can contact my recommenders if they have any questions about the accurateness of them? Is not waiving my rights going to be a big deal?

Hi,

I wouldn't sweat it. While I do always recommend waiving your right, the ad com gives you the choice so they really can't hold it against you in their evaluation. They'll be evaluating you on the merits of your application, and if they have concerns about the legitimacy of your recs, they won't hesitate to contact you or your recommenders directly.

Should be fine. I wouldn't take any action.
