Hey so I am having a little dilemma. I have to fill out a letter of recommendation packet to give to my college counselor and it asks for a teacher recommendation. I was wondering if I should get my history teacher. He knows me but not too well I was thinking for giving him a brag sheet to maybe help him if he would write for me. Or should I get my music teacher. He s new, but knows pretty well and I’m pretty active in the band program so I was wondering if I should ask him. Basically my question is who should I ask. Because my music teacher is new but knows me pretty well, but my history teacher is the person who had me longer. I don’t know who I should really ask. Thanks guys
Music teacher. It’s better to have someone who knows you well to write it. Plus, you have more band experience.
You could also do both for a good measure.
You can do both. But, teacher recommendations always turn out better than the teacher knows you well and your accomplishments. My AP Lang teacher told me as he is filled out tons of teacher recs that it’s way better to be noticeable and outstanding to a teacher to ask for a teacher recommendation.
