<p>As far as I can tell, Plan II doesn't require a recommendation, but I can't seem to find any such information for the Engineering Honors Program...</p>
<p>Both honors programs require a recommendation from a teacher. Engineering wants either a Math or Science teacher. All you have to do is ask you teacher if they are willing to do it. When you fill out your Apply Texas application, it will ask you if you want to apply for any honors programs. If you enter yes, they will send you an e-mail after which you can apply for honors. You can apply to any honors program, but put Engineering as your first choice and Plan II as your second. The Plan II site tells you to to this. You will list your teacher reference and their e-mail address on your application. UT will then request the recommendation directly from them. These are the only recommendations they will accept. Read up on it:</p>

<p>I believe that this year Plan II does NOT require a letter of recommendation (unlike last year). </p>
<p>For reference, see the bulleted list on the Plan II FAQ page: [UT</a> College of Liberal Arts](<a href=“Plan II Honors Program | Liberal Arts | UT - Austin”>Plan II Honors Program | Liberal Arts | UT - Austin)</p>
<p>It states "Plan II does not require a teacher recommendation or counselor’s report.<br>
Plan II Honors prefers that applicants do not submit unrequested materials or documents (i.e. CDs, slides, photographs, manuscripts, letters of recommendation). "</p>
<p>Also, this page that I just found says that neither program requires a recommendation:</p>

<p>Conflicting information!</p>
<p>Wow - things must have changed since last year. Sorry - I was just repeating the process my ds completed last year.</p>
<p>My D went to a PLAN II info session in Austin last Spring. The person giving the presentation, a member of the PLAN II admissions group, stated that they were neither recommending nor requiring a teacher rec from future (I.E. appying this year) applicants. I don’t know about the engineering program.</p>
