Note: The senior profile is primarily for advisors. For teacher recommendations, college admissions reviewers recommend teachers provide specific information relevant to the classroom experience you have shared. Please assist your teachers by providing them details of your classroom experiences. Anecdotes, projects, or special moments that help your teachers to remember you are crucial for a more effective teacher recommendation.
