Physics Teacher
I had him for two years and I think he liked me because I frequently emailed him with lots of questions and asked for physics books recommendations too. I overall showed a lot of interest in his course.
Science Olympiad Coach
I have known her for four years and have put a lot of work into Science Olympiad, but I honestly didn't have many conversations with her or really got that close.
Counselor
At my school, the counselors literally just have us submit a google form with information about ourselves, so I essentially shaped this rec letter to be exactly how I wanted it.
My Sister
Some schools allow you to submit a peer rec letter, and my sister wanted to write one for me. She is an amazing writer and she also framed it to discuss aspects of myself that were not necessarily mentioned elsewhere in my application, so I think it helped.
Spanish Teacher (for Massachusetts Institute of Technology only)
He does like me, but I asked him last minute and I had only known him for a few months.
