Recommendation letters:
For my teacher LOR i had my precalc teacher who is also my NHS advisor. we get along quite well and is honestly one of my fave teachers and im pretty sure he likes me as well
counselor: shes been my counselor for only 2 years bc my first counselor retired so she came in my junior year but i have met up with her several times i feel she really likes me.
- also is it beneficial to have another teacher LOR? i was thinking of asking my 9th grade english teacher who is also now my ap lit teeacher to write me one bc then i dont just have a letter from a math teacher and she also knows my work ethic quite well cuz like 9th grade and now ap lit but i dont wanna ask her if i dont rEALLY need it yah kno?
-i also had my volunteer coordinator/ambassador from the hospital write me a rec, i kno she wrote good stuff but i feel its not as high quality or something bc she wrote it like in one sitting
essays:
i havent started but obviously i will try to revolve them around business and such and my interest and how i got into it,
Other helpful things:
-my brother goes to uofm
-in state
-my high school usually has 8-10 kids go to michigan
- i guess im upper mid class, will still apply for FAFSa tho
any feedback is appreciated!!
