<p>Thanks so much, Bustles! I'm really stressing out over which teachers to choose. Hope your interview went well!</p>
<p>Good to know! I'm planning on including one from my photo teacher.:)</p>
<p>Haha me too, fhg! </p>
<p>Is four or five too many?</p>
<p>Well there is no guarantee that they'll look at all of them or even your entire application cover-to-cover.</p>
<p>I have my Barnard interview this week! So nervous...but I'm looking forward to it.:)</p>
<p>fhg, just enjoy your time there and be yourself. Best to you!</p>
<p>Just got back from my second visit to campus. Applying there ED for sure! So thrilled. Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>fhg, i just had my interview last week. i was super nervous, but all went well. the alum who interviewed me was really nice and talkative. it was more of a conversation than her asking questions and me answering. im sure you'll do well!</p>
<p>do the academic teacher recs have to be from different subjects? it doesnt specify, although the website does say they need to be from an 11th or 12th grade teacher. I was thinking of getting mine from gov and history.....</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that they do have to be different subjects, but I can't remember where I read that so I could be mistaken.</p>
<p>I think I read that too. I'd go with different subjects just to be safe...</p>
<p>I also think it just makes sense to get recs from teachers of different subject areas in order to get a broader picture of you and your capabilities. The most important thing, though, will be that the teacher you ask to write a rec knows you very well and will write a positive rec for you.</p>
<p>is anyone else doing their interview with dean fondiller?</p>
<p>Nope, I'm having an alumni interview. Mine's today though!</p>
<p>I had mine a week or so ago with an alum.</p>
<p>So I guess I shouldn't get both a history and gov. teacher because they are both fall under social studies? Its just that I think my gov teacher would write a better rec than my english teacher would (which is my second choice if I can't ask government).</p>
<p>I have a question...for my supplemental rec do I just add an extra teacher on the “School Forms” page on the Common App site?</p>
<p>mishka1, what is your anticipated major? If it's poli-sci or something like that, having recs from history and gov't won't be so bad. But I would encourage you to also find a math or science and/or english teacher who can write one for you...it just makes sense to me to try to have recs from a variety of teachers. Also, be sure there are no requirements about who you get to write recs...I have not done this in a while and have not reviewed the admissions requirements lately.</p>
<p>Barnard ED!!!
sending it out in two weeks- waiting for tomorrows sat results !
good luck everyone :)</p>
<p>churchmusicmom, I would like to major in history and political science. Also, I am getting a supplemental letter (not a formal recommendation) from my journalism teacher, who has had me for 6 classes in high school. I will call the admissions office and ask them, but what would you suggest? Thanks!</p>
