Letters of Recommendation
  • CHEM Teacher

    Had him for 2 years. Wasn't very close, but he writes lots of REC letters, so sent him my high school life story.

  • Counselor

    Not very close. One of her top students, she doesn't write many REC letters, sent the same texts as my CHEM teacher.

  • English

    Had her for 2 years. Wasn't close but knew more about my personality and work ethics. Sent her a simple brag sheet of my ECs.

  • Calculus

    Had her during Zoom, but went to all the office hours and struggled and aced her class, bad with English.
