Senior Year Teacher for Rec?

Applying to College
1

The teacher who is the club sponsor of my club knows me SUPER well and loves me. I’ve seen his rec for me before and it emphasizes on my leadership. I will likely have him next year (senior year) as my core subject teacher. If I do, could I ask him for a rec letter for core subject teacher?

I am just scared that he wouldn’t be able to speak well on my academic abilities given that he will only have me for less than a semester before I apply.

Should I ask him? Would it be a disadvantage if I do?

I would go for it. I think teachers that know students outside of the classroom have more information to base their LOR. You could show this teacher your transcript to date to show him your past academic performance.

Thanks! @momofsenior1 Do you think it would be enough time for him to write about my classroom abilities before the Early deadline?
