| advice for teacher recommendations?
I keep hearing about how seriously important teacher recommendations are in the admissions process, and how vital it is (especially if one is applying to very competitive schools) to get evaluations from teachers who both know you in depth and can write well. I don't think I'm alone in worrying about getting "awesome" teacher recs? My problem is that I did a year-long foreign exchange as a Junior. I missed an opportune year to get to know some teachers better, and the only thing I can do now is get recs from my teachers here in Europe (not sure how well they can write in english), or from my senior teachers. The latter is even more problematic because I need recs pretty early to apply early action and they won't even know me. In either case, I'm not too sure my recommendations will be the amazing, profound letters that colleges claim to be looking for...
Any advice/comments?
