Is it better to give a letter of Rec from a teacher that. . .

Applying to College

<p>Notre Dame only takes 1 teacher recommendation. I am looking to go into Engineering and have my old Acc. Physics teacher writing one letter and my German teacher (who I know really well) write the other.</p>

<p>Would it be better to send the recommendation from the teacher who teaches a math/science or the teacher who knows me better? The Physics teacher does know me, but I think the German teacher is a lot more comfortable writing about me and will give more true insight into my personality. Thanks. (Sorry for the absolutes thread).</p>

<p>Honestly, I would use the German teacher. Though it’s seemingly beneficial to have a teacher in your respective field write the recommendation, one who would write more uniquely and proficiently about you would more than likely create the most memorable, exceptional letter. </p>

<p>Most would argue with me, but I say go for the German teacher. I submitted an English and Science professor for Brown, but I also sent in an extra from my drama teacher just because I knew she’d write a great letter and knew me better.</p>
