<p>Ok so im movin in a few weeks and my senior year is about to start at a new school. Ive already been enrolled at two different high schools so making new friends wont be a problem.
None of the teachers at this new school will know me and they will have less time to get to know me before i need recommendation letters for scholarships and colleges. Any ideas?</p>
<p>^Maybe you can talk to them a lot?</p>
<p>However, most students get LoRs from teachers that they have senior year. It isn’t that uncommon, in fact, many colleges ask for teachers who have taught you within the last year.</p>
<p>Can’t you still get LoR from teachers you were close to your Junior year? I know it’s not ideal, but you could email and ask them.</p>
<p>^I agree with you superstarlala, but I’d like to add that they really want to know about how you perform in class and what you do to make a class unique, not a letter why OP is the best student Random Teacher has ever seen, so usually senior-year teachers are the most objective</p>
<p>I’ve always heard to get Junior year teachers. They’ve had you a whole year. Senior year teachers have had you anywhere b/w 2-6 months before they have to write you recs.</p>
<p>^I suppose so. </p>
<p>What would really be best is that you have a teacher for the 2nd or 3rd time and its senior year, but I guess this wouldn’t work for OP</p>
<p>I was in an independent study school my junior year. It was all online. Would it still be ok to ask for a LoR?</p>
