<p>So, I had decided that my calculus teacher was the write my sole recommendation for my colleges. I chose her because I am very interested in math, she likes me, and I spent one month working with her one on one because the seniors in my school left. I don't think many people ask her to write a recommendation</p>
<p>The other teacher I asked to write other schools recs was my US history teacher. She knows that I could have participated more in her class and knows that I tried to participate. But a lot of people ask her to write recommendation and I at first didn't want her to write my recs because she told me last year that I could talk more in her class... My math teacher has only written good things about me, whether through progress notes or verbally... I was able to get that close one on one interaction with the teacher, which I wasn't able to get as much with the history teacher (even though I might have talked more in history class).</p>
<p>So should I send a history teacher rec or not? I already gave my history teacher all the envelopes for all the schools, so I'm not sure what she would say if I gave her one more form (She said she is sending everything in at once).</p>
<p>if it is to an ivy-league caliber school, then it might be a good idea to send in the extra rec. Just make sure to convey your interests and what makes you tick to the history teacher. Give her a resume and the answers to questions similar to these:
- What types of careers and schools/colleges are thinking/dreaming about?2) What are your long term educational plans?
- Are there any special circumstances, living situations, etc… in your life that might have an impact on your application?
- During your high school career, what do you consider your proudest academic accomplishment? Be specific.
- List two (2) adjectives that best describe you and give one example of why those words come to mind.<br>
- If you were involved in extracurricular activities, which one was the most meaningful and why?
- If you have worked, what job experience has contributed to your future goals and how?
- Tell us about your family. What makes your family special, unusual, or usual?</p>
<p>etc. etc. If it is just to a school that isn’t too difficult to get into (Michigan state, CSU, etc.) then don’t bother. One rec. is good enough</p>
<p>it is georgetown, tufts, and hopkins… (only require one rec)</p>
<p>I applied and got in to all three of those schools. I sent in two.</p>
<p>will it diminish my chances if I only send in one? (if she might comment about not speaking enough even though I made an effort)… I also think I did better in calculus then history…</p>
<p>bump… I need to make this decision pretty soon! (like in an hour)</p>
