Sophomore Math/Elective Teacher: I know that this letter of recommendation will be the best letter colleges could ever receive on my behalf. He’s such a genuine teacher, I tell him everything lol
AP Lang Teacher: 8/10 Second Favorite, we spend a lot of time outside of school since he was my basketball coach/debate club moderator. Plus he’s an amazing writer!!!

I have another internship supervisor I’m thinking of asking for a letter of rec from since they’re a Columbia Alumni? But Idk if the letter will help since they don’t know me very well.
