<p>I'm trying to decide about which letters I want to send in to Stanford. I know for sure that I want to send in my junior English teacher's letter and a supplementary letter from my academic team coach. I still need to figure out what I want for my second required teacher rec.</p>
<p>The two other teacher recommendations that have been written for me are from my junior year multivariable calculus teacher and my sophomore year AP US History teacher. The letter from my math teacher "only" pretty good: it is certainly nice and thoughtful, but it isn't exactly passionate. On the other hand, my history teacher wrote in his letter that he recommends me more than any other student he's had in his career.</p>
<p>Here's the rub. I really want to major in neuroscience, and at Stanford, I think the closest thing is a Symbolic Systems program. Given that my essays emphasize my love of language and interdisciplinary study, will it seem terribly odd if I submit the history rec at the expense of the math one and then choose a science-heavy concentration? Or would it seem natural that I still have strong interests in the humanities?</p>
<p>Hopefully, someone with insider experience can give me advice. Thanks in advance!</p>
