<p>I need two teacher recs for a scholarship I’m applying for, and I’m in a bit of a quandry over who to chose. Any advice would be great.</p>
<p>History teacher (10th grade): I had him for AP World. He really seemed to like me and thought I was an “outstanding student” based on what I’ve heard. He has a great personality, too, and really seems to know me as person. He also lent me books to self-study another AP. The issue with him, though, is that most colleges don’t seem to like recs from before Jr. year.</p>
<p>Math teacher (11th): I did really well in that class and helped a lot of the other students. She seemed to have a favorable opinion of me, but I don’t think she knows my personality as well as some of my other choices. Other the class I had her for wasn’t exactly the most demanding.</p>
<p>Government teacher (12): So far, she seems to like me as a person and student, and I’ve done will thus far (hopefully, both of those things will continue 
). That class is largely lecture, though, so my personality doesn’t show through quite as much as with others.</p>
<p>History teacher (11th): My APUSH teacher. From what she said, she really liked me, and I did extremely well in that class. She already wrote me one rec, however, and I would sfeel bad asking for another. I participated a lot in class, so I think she knows my personality well.</p>
<p>Japanese teacher: I had her last year and will have her this year. I do a ton of Japanese class outside of class (contests, club, etc.), so she could include that. She knows my “Japanese personality” well and has openly offered to write a rec. My concern, however, is that English is not her native language. Don’t get me wrong, she speaks English very fluently (if I could ever speak japanese that well, I’d be incredibly overjoyed!), but I worry that she doesn’t have the same written style as native speakers.</p>
