<p>so my teacher showed me his recommendation letter and asked me to make whatever changes to it.</p>
<p>what I noticed was that my teacher tried to include some brief notes about my activities outside his class and how it makes me a good student.</p>
<p>I gave him a resume of all my activities and achievements to give him an idea of what kind of student I am, but I didn't expect him to talk about them in the recommendation letter. It sounds a little redundant, since I listed the activities in my common app.</p>
<p>does it matter?</p>
