<p>Do I have to mention in my application why I chose to do this?</p>
<p>Most colleges want at least 2 teacher recommendations. If you plan on applying as a science major, you should try to get one recommendation from one of your science teachers.</p>
<p>Yeah, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a science teacher write one, but it might be too late at this point. </p>
<p>I’m applying for industrial design and computer science, and my recommendation is from a History teacher (thought my other one is from a science teacher). It’s better to go with someone who can really say something positive and something that would be helpful to the admissions people.</p>
<p>I would have gotten a science teacher to write one but all my science teachers either retired or left for other schools in undisclosed locations. lol</p>
<p>The science teacher who wrote my recommendation was actually fired at the end of the school year when I had him (last year). Though, he actually lives in my town (about a block away from the school <em>awkward</em>), so we were able to work it out. </p>
<p>oh… he was just fired for disagreements with the administration (just the principal), and not because he did anything wrong.</p>
