<p>Will AP Computer Science teacher be an good choice of recommender? Is he considered as a science teacher or elective teacher? Applying as Engineering major.</p>
<p>If you are planning to apply as a potential engineering major…yes AP CS teacher will be fine…even better would be getting one from a core science teacher like in AP Physics…</p>
<p>…either way, you want to pick a teacher who can say you are one of the top students he/she has had in years in any of the subjects…and, by the way, you don’t have to limit yourself to just science/math teachers to apply as a potential engineering/CS major…</p>
<p>…they are looking for future visionaries/thinkers/leaders in CS/engineering fields…so be very very careful not to come off as a grind, drone, or future number-cruncher…</p>
<p>@seal16. To further clarify the last phrase…make sure not only your essays but your recommenders not convey this…it could potentially be the kiss of death…</p>
