Letters of rec
I had one written by my junior year PLTW teacher, he liked me a lot and knew I was actually taking the class because I want to pursue it.
I had another written by my PreCalc teacher junior year who loved me, I did super well in her class and she saw how hard I worked and she recommended my for AB Calc senior year.
My interview was okay, my person was kind of quiet and it only lasted about 30 minutes.
I also have 2 other letters of recommendation being written by a man who sits on the board of regents and a man who donates a lot of money to the school.
LMK how you think this will go for me! Anything helps!
