Getting recommendation letters from AP Lang teacher (only writes good letters), AP Calc teacher (she really knows my talent and I feel like she can write a good one), Physics H teacher (performed well in classroom, and he’s a track official so he sees my character outside of the classroom too), and Latin III, IV, and AP teacher (had her for two, going to have her for three years, we’re close and she sees my talent.)
