Or do what I did and ask every teacher for one, and just pick out the best ones. :]



Be aware that many teachers put a lot of time into letters of recommendation. It’s additional work that they agree to do because, hopefully, they like you and think you deserve to get into a good school. They’re doing you a favor, and you should return the courtesy by actually using the letter they’ve put so much effort into. If you’re not planning on using a rec from a certain teacher, it’s better to tell them so than to waste their time on a rec that won’t be sent.
