<p>Hey. I am apply EA to Georgetown McDonough Business School and I was wondering which teacher I should get a recommendation from.</p>

<p>On the Georgetown undergraduate application, it states that I should get a recommendation from either a social studies teacher or a math teacher.</p>

<p>Over the summer, my last year's history teacher (social studies = history right?) for AP US History wrote a recommendation for me. </p>

<p>I read the recommendation over and it is pretty good and he said a lot of nice things but he focused more on how I write well and have historical knowledge/inquisitve mind.</p>

<p>Will this have any bearing for a business school? Like will the ad comms think..will the kid (me) writes well but that is irrelavent to business?</p>

<p>I was thinking of telling him to edit a little bit (like one paragraph and tell the ad comms that due to my inquisitve mind and historical proficiency, I am able to predict trends and thus can be successful as a financial analyst/stock broker...or something along those lines).</p>

<p>Or should I just go to my math teacher from last year (AP Calculus AB) and ask her for a recommendation? </p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Personally I don't think it matters... recommendations are really an opportunity for a teacher, who have worked with and know a student well enough to provide additional insight into the character and aptitude of a student... with that said, I think the Georgetown application asks for a math teacher for MSB... but that might have changed this year... check the app...</p>
