Concerns: letter of rec from a sophomore year teacher, I was very nervous to ask my teachers and ended up asking this one because I am super closer with her. She ended up letting me read the letter and it was fantastic, but still worried.
Whats the big deal about asking for a letter of rec from a sophomore teacher? If they know you better why shouldn’t they write your letter of recommendation?
It’s hard to make an accurate judgment without knowing your class rank, but your senior course load and test score are great. ECs are a bit too focused on sports. It doesn’t really matter which teacher your recommendation letter is from, so don’t worry about that. As others have said, your chances are good, so stay positive.
update: i got in! thanks everyone who replied!
when did your application get approved for admission? I am still waiting!
@coldinboston I was admitted on 12/16.
Here is some info regarding their admission decisions:
“Three large batches of decisions come out. The first batch was released on November 18th, the second on December 16th, and the third will be released in mid January. Ohio State has switched up how often they release acceptances over the years (every Friday/every other Friday) but this year it is on three specific Fridays, one in each month.”
