<p>Hey CCers, esp those who got into HYPS and have read or know what their teachers wrote for their recs,</p>
<p>I was just wondering...what kind of things do teachers write for you in their recs and what is considered as an excellent teacher rec? </p>
<p>Most importantly, for the "Ratings" part (the tick-box chart with personal/intellectual quantities), did your teacher give you mostly "Outstanding (top 5%)"? Do excellent students (esp those admitted to HYPS) usually get mostly the "One of the top few encountered in my career" ticked or is this it considered to be a great recommendation just to receive a few of this rating ticked?</p>
<p>THANKS!</p>
