<p>what are "EXCELLENT/AMAZING/GREAT" recs like? </p>
<hr>
<p>On CC, when people ask for chances, they would usually say that they have "EXCELLENT/AMAZING/GREAT" recs. I was wondering what they are actually like. Do they mean the teachers checked off the "one of the best in career" or "oustanding" parts? And very detailed, long, etc. letter?</p>
<p>Mine are
1)all excellent (check box)/very detailed and long essay about me (talks about my background too and how she's impressed with me overcoming lang difficulties etc)</p>
<p>2)all outstanding (check box)/very generic and short essay about me (like enthusiastic, hardworking.</p>
<p>add. info=both AP teachers, but the second one has more experience and years than the first. </p>
<p>I gotta choose ONE teacher rec for NYU. And, I can't decide which ones to send because one checked off so-so part and wrote a pretty good letter, while the other checked off the good part and wrote a so-so letter. I heard that letter counts more than the check box, so should I send in the first one?</p>
<p>HELP!</p>
