<p>So, the only one of my colleges on the Common App that gives any instructions about letters of recommendation is U Chicago, and they ask for a math/science and humanities rec. How can I tell if other colleges want that too? (I've tried going to their websites, but most don't give details about the teacher recs, besides that they're required).</p>
<p>Unless they specify, colleges usually want two from different subjects. (English and History or English and Biology or English and Government ... etc.) If you're unsure, just send an email.</p>
<p>I don't think I know any other major colleges/universities apart from UChicago that ask for a humanities and a math/science rec.</p>
<p>Most colleges like to see diversity but if you are applying to the school of engineering then usually they like math and science. Just ask, it never hurts.</p>
