Letters of Recommendation
  • Latin teacher

    had him for 3 years, did an independent study with him, and he was the advisor for my club so I would hope his rec was pretty good (8/10)

  • Physics teacher

    had him for one year and was pretty quiet in his class (4/10)

  • School counselor

    interact with him twice a year and he still doesn't know how to spell my name right so I don't have high hopes (2/10)

  • Science research mentor

    he was very impressed by my project and has known me for a long time (9/10)
