Teacher Recs

Applying to College

<p>Hey everybody. I have a question about Teacher Recs.</p>

<p>I took AP Government last year and did extremely well in the class. I think my AP Gov teacher could write a killer rec for me. Do you think she'll remember me well enough from last year to write a rec letter for me?</p>

<p>(I am trying to get into an Ivy league school btw)</p>

<p>I also had an American Literature teacher last year who said I was one of the best students he has ever had in his AmLit classes. But the class was just a standard college prep class; not honors/AP. So would that rec not be a good one because it is not from a very hard class?</p>

<p>Finally, do you think I should have one rec from junior year and one from senior year?</p>

<p>it's best to have them from your junior year. It doesn't really matter what difficulty class or what class really (unless u hav an intented major that a class relates to) it really just matter HOW WELL THE TEACHER KNOWS YOU. the more personal it can be, the better.</p>

<p>^^ agreed. i think the ap gov teacher would remember you well enough, but the more personal the better for sure. i think i will have one written from a teacher, a coach, and then a family-friend with connections at the school if i can find one haha -- use this as an opportunity for the school to get to know you from an outside perspective</p>
