<p>U Chicago would be a super-reach (along with Penn, Duke, etc.)</p>
<p>Do not call Greek AP, as there is no such thing, If your teacher is willing to say that he is teaching it at a college level, that would be great. It would not mean much if you said such a thing, since you would not know how college classes are taught.</p>
<p>I just want to emphasize again that the important thing about teachers’ recs is that they have to be very personal. The teacher’s title has no importance at all. A recommendation from the department head who talked to you a few times, and can say that you are a “nice guy to talk to” is meaningless. You don’t need any “important” or “influential” people. You need teachers who know you well, believe in your academic ability, and are willing to “go to bat for you”. In cases like yours, adcoms may call your counselor, or your recommender to get more detailed info. Make sure to choose teachers who have something to say about you, attest to your academic ability, etc.</p>
