<p>One of my favorite recs came from a history teacher I absolutely LOVED. Hers had been the best class for me for two whole years, even though my Junior year, it was the hardest class (it has a reputation for huuuge workloads, harsh grading…etc.) But she’s a fabulous teacher, and we’ve always had a really good relationship. Her letter was specific, to-the-point, and mentioned little things here and there that showed my character. At the end of the day, you can’t go wrong with honesty… if you’re really the person you are, an honest rec will depict it; if not, well, you probably don’t deserve an outstanding rec anyway</p>
