<p>I'm applying for science programs at some extremely competitive schools. I'm definitely asking my science teacher to write a recommendation but I don't think there's a restriction on who I give my second letter of recommendation of letter to. The reason I bring this up is that while my social science teacher will give me a good letter of recommendation, my English teacher will give me a great one. And I think it would show great versatility to have two very different teachers show very different sides of me. Is this a good idea? Because I've always heard that if you're applying for pre-med, it's ideal to get a humanities and a science reference. I don't want to submit an additional reference because that is just excessive.</p>
