Letters of Recommendation

    I got to read this one and cried because it was so sweet, talked about me being hesitant to join his class yet eager to learn the content and how I quickly flourished and became his most outstanding student; 9.5/10

  • AP Statistics Teacher

    I do really well in her class and she seems to really like me but I'm not sure her writing skills are the best; 8/10

  • Counselor

    submitted within 10 minutes of me sending it to her so I doubt it was great, likely generic but still sweet; 6/10
