<p>They have asked me for a letter of recommendation
I'm an undecided major
And I was wondering who I should ask for it.
I have a few teachers in mind
One is my math teacher who I have had for 3 years. He knows I'm really smart at math because I got 100s on every test last year. However I am not sure how good of a letter he would send.
On the other hand, I have my AP Lang teacher who awarded me the "student of excellence" because of my friendly nature and collaborative skill. She obviously values me as a student and would write an AMAZING letter. But I recieved a B in her class! (Its my Only B junior and sophomore year) I'm not sure if this is a problem though because the UC Berkeley App reader may not care or they may not know that she is my ap language teacher. I'm not sure wether my teacher would mention that in the letter
Anyway, I would really appreciate any help or information!</p>
<p>Definitely go with your lang teacher, she will be able to say a lot more about you as a person and what you can contribute to UC Berkeley than your math teacher. Your character will shine through in her letter. Do you know how many applicants have amazing grades? The people don’t care to know more about that, they want to know more about YOU and she seems to have a better grasp on that than the math guy. Without a doubt ask her for a letter. You even said so yourself, she would write an AMAZING letter, and if she can do that despite you getting a B, think about it, doesn’t that sound like a GOOD thing? That you got a B but she still thinks of highly of you, because she sees all these other great things about you? Ask her!!</p>
<p>Lol ok thanks! I will.</p>
