I’m thinking about applying to RSI 2018. However, I’m homeschooled, and getting rec letters isn’t exactly easy. The website says you should have 2-3 letters, one from a science teacher and one from a math teacher, or from a research mentor is you did a significant researching stint. I a doing research this summer, but I’m not sure where to get another letter. I’m taking AP Bio and precalc this summer, so if I took either of those courses at a CC, that might be a possibility. However, posters about RSI in the past have said it is ill-advised to request a rec letter from a teacher that you’ve barely had for a full semester, and I wondering if the same principal would apply to requesting a rec from a teacher/professor who only taught me a class during the summer. What should I do?
