Hi all,
I am about to ask my teachers for letters of recommendation and I had a question- a lot of school ask for two “academic” teacher letter of recommendations. However, the teacher I have the best relationship with and would probably write me the best letter is my business teacher by far. Would submitting a letter from my business teacher combined with a history teacher cause colleges to “discount” the letters in anyway/not accept them?
Thanks,
Your academic teachers are teachers who teach your core 4: english, mathematics, social studies and science. These are the people who you need to get your recommendations from as you have taken most of these subjects over the course of 4 years (3 years minimally). Some schools will tell you specifically who you should be getting the recommendation letter from. Please reconsider, and get 2 letters from core teachers vs getting a letter from your business teacher.
