<p>Hi!</p>

<p>For the math or science teacher recommendation I don't which teacher to ask. I know you guys can't help me with that but the problem is that the teacher that I'm thinking of asking for the recommendation doesn't know too much English. I'm from Puerto Rico and the only teachers who really know a lot of English are, of course, English teachers.</p>

<p>So what do I do?</p>

<p>Advice from someone who have gone through the same thing will be VERY helpful, but then again any advice is also helpful.</p>

<p>THANKS IN ADVANCE!</p>

<p>MIT will certainly consider the context of the letter, caring more about the content than the grammar surrounding it.</p>

<p>If it is easier for your teacher, MIT will accept a translated letter; however, obtaining that is the student’s responsibility. You will need to send the translation, the original, and some sort of authentication that the translation was done by an official translator.</p>

<p>Are you sure? I am really worried about this.</p>

<p>Maybe you can call MIT and find out whether one of the English teachers at your school can translate? That might make it easier for all involved. Not sure if this would be OK.</p>

<p>^It’s absolutely okay for one of the English teachers to translate a recommendation.</p>
