Who should write my recommendation?

<p>ok, so i'm 100% sure about my first one, but I have two candidates for the second one. The deadline is fast approaching... please help me!</p>

<p>contestant #1: my ap us and euro teacher, 10th and 11th grade respectively. I received a 4 on euro and a 5 on US and had the highest grade in his class 2 years in a row. So you're asking yourself, what's the problem? well, I'm just gonna say it: he's really grumpy and never seemed to love my overly-enthusiastic displays of raising my hand. He's very apathetic about his students in general, I'm afraid the rec would be boring and say very little about me as a person. </p>

<p>contestant #2: My awesome AP Gov teacher who is really personable and seems to like me alot. I'm doing well in her class so far, but I've only had her for about 3 weeks! she knew me a little last year from a club that i'm involved with that she is the advisor for, but other than that, nothing before this year. </p>

<p>I would much rather ask #2, but is it a deal breaker that I didn't have her before this year?</p>

<p>If you had her in an EC, that's wonderful--not only has she been exposed to you in a classroom setting, but she has also seen you outside of one. Never choose a teacher you don't think would write a good one.</p>
