Letter of Recommendation for Jordan Smith

Dear Admissions Committee,

It is my genuine pleasure to recommend Jordan Smith for admission to your university. As Jordan's AP Chemistry teacher and Science Olympiad advisor for the past two years, I have had the privilege of watching Jordan develop into one of the most intellectually curious and dedicated students I have encountered in my fifteen years of teaching.

What sets Jordan apart is not just academic excellence—though Jordan has maintained straight A's while taking the most rigorous courseload our school offers—but a genuine passion for understanding how things work. I recall a moment last year when Jordan stayed after school for three hours, not for extra credit, but simply to master a challenging organic chemistry mechanism that had puzzled the class. This intellectual tenacity combined with Jordan's collaborative spirit makes Jordan the kind of student who elevates everyone around them.

Beyond the classroom, Jordan has demonstrated remarkable leadership as captain of our Science Olympiad team, where Jordan mentored younger members and led our team to its first state qualification in five years. Jordan approaches every challenge with optimism and persistence, qualities that will serve Jordan well in the rigorous environment of university study.

I recommend Jordan without reservation and am confident Jordan will be a valuable addition to your academic community.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
AP Chemistry Teacher
