<p>Recommendations:
If anyone could provide feedback, I would like to ask for an opinion on which one of these would be better.
A great recommendation from a teacher who did not teach AP, but another class related to my planned major, and with whom I have worked with outside of class in extracurricular and could better portray me.
Or an average recommendation from a teacher of an AP "core" class which I will choose to major in.</p>

<p>Nothing distinctive, from what you’ve written. Thousands of applicants have similar stats and activities. Most don’t get in. Your chances are random.</p>

<p>A recommendation isn’t about the teacher; it’s about you. Choose the one who knows you best and can tell a school about your personal qualities.</p>

<p>You should definitely try and improve ur EC section otherwise u wouldn’t seem to be unique to the schools u are applying to.</p>

<p>I think you could get into WashU and I hear its a great school for the sciences (and especially medical for bio-med). Unfortuantly for the Ivies you need something that sticks out other than grades.</p>
