<p>Do you think its okay if I chose my grade 9 religion teacher, who ONLY taught me in grade 9, and in religion, which is something not relevant to my major? </p>
<p>Also, I recall that I did below average in his class. I am concerned that the admissions committee will be discouraged by the fact that he taught me so long ago, and that I didn't do so well (87% final which was STILL below average, don't remember by how much though). </p>
<p>I know that most people get teachers that taught them all throughout high school or from at least soph- senior year, but never freshman year!!! </p>
<p>However, he REALLY knows me (personality wise and habit wise) and my aspirations! Frankly, his faith and hope for me to succeed is much more than I even think I deserve!! </p>
<p>Also, if he expresses in his letter how I was able to maintain the great connection throughout all 4 years of high school, (he's also my Extended Essay Mentor this year; it's an I.B. Essay requirement), would that be alright? Like we always catch up in the hallways and update each other on our lives! He definitely has seen me grow as a person.</p>
<p>Do you guys think the grade discrepancy could be unreliable to the admissions committees? And my below average performance in his class? </p>
<p>Note: my other teacher options know me really well, but don't know me AS well as this one, but have taught me for 1-2 years and I have done well in their classes!! So i am really confused as to who to chose!</p>
<p>Please, even if you just read this, I would REALLY appreciate any perspective out there!! Thank you SO much!</p>
