wtf?

[lexylit]

just got a letter from harvard that i didnt send my dean's cert from stanford for my MA. did anyone think we needed grad school dean's certs? i feel like no other LS wants that (as evidenced by the fact that i'm "complete" at e.g. cornell). plus it's called a COLLEGE DEAN'S CERTIFICATE so why would they need it for grad school? well, if i steered anyone wrong with my assumption, i apologize.

fwiw, now we know harvard has a checklist and will let you know exactly what's missing if something is. the form they sent me has 5 possible problems with your app and they checked one off and filled it in.

blah...

ugh, what a pain.  sorry about that

i don't even know where to send it. dept administrator? advisor? some kind of grad school dean?

FYI Columbia wants 'em from grad schools too. I ended up getting mine filled out by some sort of disciplinary officer based on the reasoning that the most important aspect was the conduct information.

*&^%! thank you! ahhhhhhhhh

anyone know about duke et al?

Yes -- should have put it in the first post, sorry. Duke and Stanford do not required certs from grad programs.

No problem. In return, please get LSAC to process my LOR sent September 28.

Oops- I missed that, too! Do you recall whether they want them from all schools ever, or just UG and Gr. degree-granting schools?

from the ones i've seen, they only need it if you earned a degree.  so nothing from two JC's i attended PT.
