Anyone have one of these for a university??
I am sure that someone here has done one of these.
The short version of why this is such an urgent request-- my DD's early-round honors decision has hit a snag involving a really significant and ill-timed error on the part of the regular admissions office at {local Uni}.
The upshot is that they let her know THIS MORNING that her application is "not complete" until they get a notice of early graduation from school (check-- counselor scrambled to get one this morning) and a "parent authorization" letter from us. The problem is that they aren't even sure what this latter needs to be or mention or anything. No standard sample or advice on the subject exists.
This is on the heels of them telling her (in writing) on NOv 5 that her application was "complete" incidentally, so yeah-- strings have been pulled. People whose first names are apparently "Dean Of" have been involved, needless to say. Because this is WAY out of the pay scale of the regular office staff at Honors or Admissions. Grrr.
The honors college WILL admit her, they remembered her application quite well (good news-- only ~20% of applicants this year will get one of those letters), but couldn't figure out what was up with the hold at Uni admissions (which, recall, we didn't know about because they had told DD both in writing AND by phone that she was "good to go" there... even KNOWING ABOUT HER AGE...)
Aughhhh.
Anyway-- a sample "parent authorization" letter for a university environment would be MUCH MUCH MUCH appreciated.
Thank you guys in advance.
