<p>Hi ben, I have a big problem and I need your advice. I was wondering what happens if an applicant can't get a recommendation from a history or social science teacher. I only took math, physics, and chemistry in grades 11 and 12 (British A Levels) and all of the teachers who taught me in grades 9 and 10 aren't at my school anymore (many have left the country). I really don't see any way for me to get recs from them, so what should I do to fix this?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I would try to reach one of them (see if anyone at the school has a forwarding email address, or even google them), but if you can't, just explain the situation in your application and give your Eval B to a second science or math teacher.</p>
<p>Hi Ben,</p>
<p>I'm in the same situation. In India we don't take Social Sciene (history, geography, civics or economics) after 10th grade. Although the teachers are still there in my school, I was wondering if I should get it from them because they haven't taught for me two years (but some of them have known me for more than 6 years).</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Yes, you should definitely get a proper Eval B if possible, even if the teacher hasn't taught you in awhile. The differences in perspective between a math/science teacher versus a humanities/social science teacher can be quite pronounced.</p>
<p>Thanks Ben! :)</p>
