<p>Do universities care what subjects the recommenders teach? Like would it be better to get my math teacher as my recommender than my Spanish teacher? </p>
<p>Yes they do. Read what the college admissions webpages tell you as to the type and number. Many require zero Rec letters. For those that do, they want teachers in “core” acad subjects. A frgn lang teacher can be a “supplemental” rec but not a primary one.</p>
