OP, I am sorry your kid does not have a great relationship with a certain teacher. Anything she can do in the next few weeks to demonstrate that she is a good student? As others have said, hopefully the teacher will be able to evaluate her fairly. But I do understand, sometimes teachers have so many kids, they don't really see a kid fairly.  I think you could ask last year's teacher for a letter to add, but s/he will probably decline. If they are amenable, you could just add it w/ application. DD had an additional piece of info, and I asked RMIB if she could add it, & they said yes. I think she added something to CAP too. She got in everywhere she applied (she also had great teacher recs b/c she is super earnest).  I would say that if your kid does not get in or gets waitlisted, then definitely ask that last year's teacher to add. That's where everyone involved (teacher & programs) would be more amenable to the idea of a rec from last year's teacher.

Best of luck.[/quote]
