Recommendation Letters That Are Strong:
A minimum of one reference letter from a high school teacher or counselor (or both) is typically required by most universities. Choose a teacher who knows your skills, goals, and interests and whose class you performed well in (preferably an A) if you're asking for a letter from them. A minimum of one letter from a teacher who instructed a basic course—math, English, science, or social studies/history—will usually be required.
