[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When our DC applied to engineering, [b]they had an amazing letter from a science teacher.  [/b]Deciding on who to get the second one from was hard.
[b]
Any other science teacher's letter was going to sound inferior.[/b]  While DC got mostly As in math, DC did not take AP Calc BC until junior year and was going to get lumped in as solid but not amazing.

DC could also have gotten a solid but not amazing letter from several history teachers.

On the other hand DC is pretty poor in English.  DC had worked pretty hard in on level English just to manage an A here and there.

The difference was that DC really took writing their college essay seriously.  DC had worked with a former English teacher developing, drafting and polishing.

The teacher told us that she believed DC's essay was most likely the best essay from the school that year, better than all the IB student's essays.

While we were skeptical, DC was very proud of that essay and the teacher was very enthusiastic about writing DC's second letter.

We are pretty sure that both the essay and the English teacher's recommendation made a big impact and helped DC get into all of their reach engineering schools. [/quote]

You must be in private? Kids don't get to see the letters. [/quote]
My kids are in public and their teachers all showed them the letters.[/quote]
