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)
