MIT Recommendations

[soundofyouandme]

<p>So my high school is requiring us [current juniors] to find teachers to write college recommendations. I have to turn in my form, signed by the teachers whom I've asked and who have accepted, by this Thursday.
I've heard that MIT doesn't let applicants have two college recommendations both written by science/math teachers. As in, I must have an English/history/language teacher write one for me. Is this true?</p>

<p>Why don’t you use Google to obtain this piece of easily accessible information?</p>

<p>Yes it’s true.</p>

Teacher Evaluations</p>

<p>We require two teacher evaluations - please give them to your teachers early! One (“Evaluation A”) should be from a math or science teacher and one (“Evaluation B”) should be from a humanities teacher. We find that the best recommendations are written by teachers who know an applicant well as both a student and a person - please choose accordingly. We prefer that teachers use our forms, but it’s okay if your high school has its own form or for a teacher to submit just a letter; we just ask that he/she attach the non-MIT form or letter to our form and that the letter address the questions on our form. Teacher evaluation forms can be downloaded via the Application Forms link on your MyMIT account.
