<p>I haven’t really personally known any of the teachers in hard classes (AP)
for the past two years. But I’ve gotten friendly with my Spanish II teacher
who I am sure will write me some great recommendation letters.</p>
<p>So my question is, is it better to risk sending a good rec letter from a teacher of an “easier class” than sending a so-so rec letter from a teacher of an AP class?</p>
<p>good rec by far</p>
