Shes really good at English but we havent really been able to get to know eachother that well. Would it still be ok to ask her or would it be weird?
I think she can proof read your essay. She is probably not your best choice for a recommendation but that’s not what you asked. She would be reading it with fresh eyes, as would the admission committee. She’d be a very good person to judge whether it conveys your personality.
If she doesn’t know you well, that actually can be very helpful in terms of reading your essay. The ad coms who read your essay don’t know you but will form an opinion based on it. Having someone at school who doesn’t know you well can kind of simulate the same thing. Sometimes if a person knows you too well or knows the topic you write about to well they may miss things in the essay that could be unclear to others. Since they are familiar with it, it can be clear to them, but oftentimes it would not be clear to s stranger
Sure. Senior teachers KNOW they’re going to get slammed with essays.
But please, PLEASE, give her adequate time to go through it. You’re not her only Senior, it’s not her only priority, and the odds are good that she has stuff to do aside from schoolwork.
