Recommendations
Teacher Rec #1: I think my AP Psych teacher really likes me, and I’ve worked really hard in his class.
Teacher Rec #2: AP Chem teacher - probably average recs, I’ve grown a lot in her class, so hopefully she can see that.
Counselor Rec: I know her pretty well, and I think she’ll write a pretty good rec for me.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.
