<p>Hey!
I've already asked for a recommendation from my bioloigy teacher and I need to choose another teather. The thing is that the other teacher who really likes me the most is my chemistry teacher. Is it bad to have to recommendations from science teachers?</p>
<p>No?
Recommendation should be really good. If you are into science and engineering, it’s even better to get recommendation from both.</p>
<p>Again, purpose of letter of recommendation is to provide additional insights about you from a third-party for the admissions staff to review your application.</p>
<p>If she likes you and she can write it well , the letter will bolster your chance!</p>
<p>Colleges often provide guidance as to the recommendations that they are looking for – both in the sense of when the recommending teaching was your teacher, and regarding which subjects.</p>
<p>There are likely variations from college to college, and if you’re unsure of what your colleges of choice require, ask them. Best is to never assume anything important in the application cycle.</p>
<p>You’ll often be advised to: (1) pick junior and senior year teachers, and (2) to pick one who’s taught you a “humanities” core course, and (2) to pick one who’s taught you a “quantitative” core course. So for example: english + math, history + chemistry, and like combinations.</p>
<p>There are situations where sending additional recommendations (beyond the 2 that are often requested) may be helpful. Perhaps that applies to you. But make sure you follow the guidance for the required ones.</p>
<p>
I wouldn’t say that it’s bad. It’s just that most colleges specifically recommend that you get recs from teachers from different subjects. </p>
<p>
I agree. This is the scenario for most colleges, unless your applying to technical colleges like MIT which ask for two recs specifically from a science and math teacher.</p>
