Letters of Recommendation - AP Teachers?

Applying to College
1

<p>I’m currently debating which teachers to ask for letters of recommendation. I go to a very large school, so there’s not much time to form a strong connection with any teachers; because of this, all teachers will write pretty similar quality letters.</p>

<p>My question is: Do colleges value a letter from an AP teacher over others, assuming the quality of letter will be the same for all teachers.</p>

<p>I ask this because many of the AP teachers get swamped by students asking at this time, I want to know if I could take the load off them by asking a teacher from a regular course without it hurting my application.</p>

<p>I would think how well the teacher knows you is more important. I understand what you meant about large class sizes. Still if possible, pick a teacher that knows you better.</p>

<p>I asked my APUSH teacher and regular Japanese teacher. Just go to the ones who know you best.</p>
