Asking Teachers For Recs?

<p>I don't know what the criteria is for which teachers to ask? I'm sticking with junior year. We did a project in AP Psych after the exam for juniors and we had to get 3 signatures from teacher asking if they would write you one.</p>

<p>Junior year-
AP Psychology teacher lovessssss me. I did amazing in her class and was very outgoing [she loves that]. However, she rarely says yes to writing recs. I'm guessing its because of the quiet students. She was the one doing the project and we couldn't ask her to sign.
*Class 2 As and a 5 on exam. Only one to get an A in her class first semester. </p>

<p>AP Human teacher- Another kind of relationship similar to that^ [Probably a little less intense]. Because I asked him right before first period, on my way to turn in the project [What can I say? Procrastination], he was kinda thrown back by it but signed. At the end of the year he also mentioned recommendations so I hope I'm fine.
*Class 2 As and a 4 on exam.</p>

<p>Math teacher- Signed. Was decently outgoing until I had to switch to his 6th period.
*2 As.</p>

<p>Would the first two be good matches?
Also, she told us we should ask in August. Should I shoot an email soon?
Is asking a senior teacher really that bad if you're so outgoing.... Like it takes me a good 1-2 weeks to adjust and stop being shy.</p>

<p>Another thing is that I'm going to be a Biology/Science major....... You probably won't believe this but-
Freshman Biology teacher - LOVEDDDDDDDDDDD her..... She got pregnant and left.
Sophomore Chem teacher- Such a good relationship..... She got married and moved.
Junior Physics teacher- I was one of the only ones to make personal conversation with her..... She retired.</p>

<p>K... That leaves AP Biology. He unfairly gave me a B [randomly dropped 10 percent when grades were due? final is worth 10 percent so that wasn't possible], I complained to the vice, needless to say..... No...</p>

<p>if they said ask in august, ask in august…but i’ve found two-three weeks notice should be sufficient</p>

<p>make sure, even if they don’t ask, that you give them enough info to write a personal and informed letter</p>

<p>just choose whoever would be able to best highlight your good qualities from junior year on (for most schools)</p>

<p>See I’m going to ask her in August [maybe others later] because she told us to, but I want to give a resume and then ask her more about writing it [when]. I’m going to feel like I’m on her ass about it.</p>
