Biology Teacher
We got along great during class and she helped raise my ACT from a 33 to 35. She also helped me edit some of my supplemental essays.
Psychology Teacher
I would come into her class for lunch and discuss both academic and personal endeavors with her. I was able to read her PhD thesis and got to learn more about developmental psychology before normal class time.
Counselor
We got along very well, I believe he knows more about me than most of his other students, so I think the LOR was a bit stronger.
