Teacher Rec

Applying to College

<p>Okay..
I have three teachers I am going to get recommendations from. One of them, I am definitely going to use because he has Ph D and I did really well in his class. On the other hand, I have problem with the other two.</p>

<p>One of them is going to write a very good recommendation but he is not going to mark all the exceptionals on the "check box" because he is a extremely modest guy. Probably 1~2 exceptionals and rest will be ones below exceptional.
The other one is going to write a standard recommendation but lots of exceptionals on the box. She just basically looks at the grades and decide.</p>

<p>Which one would you recommend me to use?</p>

<p>bump bump bump</p>

<p>Depends on which box is marked exceptional... See how the teacher marked "overall" part...</p>

<p>If I were you, I would submit a very good recomendation although not very many boxes are marked exceptional</p>

4

<p>I agree with spark, go with the one that would write a good recommendation. Colleges know different teachers have different standards when checking boxes, but a good rec speaks for itself.</p>

5

<p>I would definitely choose the first guy... from what I've gathered, the admissions officers care much more about what the teacher has to say about the student, rather than a set of boxes. Some colleges accept a letter without the form, even.</p>

<p>I'd go with #1 and #2. Lose the third.</p>

<p>Wow, Thanks for the advices
I guess I should definitely go with the 1st and 2nd..</p>
