Dear Admissions Officer:
It is my pleasure to submit a letter of recommendation on behalf of Kyle Seipp. I am
privileged to have been his teacher of Computer Math Honors, Advanced Computer Math, AP
Computer Science, AP Calculus BC and Computing Independent Study (a new research course
about Scientific Computing and Linux Clusters). It has been apparent to me from the start that,
in any new learning experience with which I have challenged him, Kyle takes great pride in a
job well done. For example, his is often one of the most interesting of the class' solutions to a
problem.
Kyle is continually challenging himself to learn more. In terms of brilliance, intuition and
creativity, he is easily one of the top 1% of all students that I have ever had in the 28 years that
I have taught Regents Math, the 24 years that I have taught AP Computer Science and the 19
years that I have taught AP Calculus.
Kyle has proven himself a hardworking and reliable student. He is a bright young man
whose creativity permeates the classroom. Kyle has a positive attitude with regard to learning
and mastering new and challenging topics. He is a conscientious student and his attitude is
inspiring to all around him.
I have been impressed with Kyle's many pursuits. He has found time to perform
community services (Key Club: many charitable events, Baldwin Public Library: Volunteer). Kyle
also contributes his expertise to the High School community at large (FIRST Robotics, Science
Olympiad, Mathletes, Golden Wave). He has continually striven toward excellence in his
reputation as one who is willing to take on a leading role (Key Club President, Blue Marble
Committee Chair, Chamber Orchestra Treasurer, Class of 2013 President). Kyle, taking every
opportunity to challenge himself academically, is the recipient of several awards (AP Scholar
with Distinction, High Honor Roll with Distinction, National Honor Society, Harvard Book Award,
Long Island Math Fair Gold and Silver Medals, TriM Music Honor Society, NYSSMSA Viola Solo
A+ Level 5 and A- Level 6). Kyle also benefits from the experience of several academic
activities outside of school (PROMYS, Tesseracts Math Team, BNL Mathematics Class, Institute
for Creative Problem Solving, Ithaca preCollege Program, Dolan DNA Labs, Kangeroo Math,
String Quartet, East Meadow Summer Music Camp).
All in all, I strongly recommend Kyle Seipp as a successful candidate for the freshman
class of your institution. As a Cornell Alumnus (Physics Major, Electrical Engineering Minor,
class of ’83) myself, I know that Kyle will distinguish himself in an institution of higher learning.
Sincerely,
A. Jorge García
