Problem with Recs

Applying to College
1

<p>Ok so I know that you usually have to get a rec from a humanities like english and history, and a rec from either math or science.
My problem is that I am pretty sure that I can only get them from my english and history teachers, and I can't get one from math or science because my teachers are really picky about who they recommend. (plus my math teacher doesn't like me that much....)</p>

<p>But during this coming summer, and last summer I will be able to get a rec from my mentor who I will be working at an Internship at Rutgers University in his bioengineering lab. </p>

<p>Do you guys think that it will be enough if I have the two humanities, and the rec from my mentor, especially since my math and science teachers won't write me one.</p>

<p>Btw, I wanna apply to engineering. So my top choice is probs University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Virginia Tech, and University of Maryland.</p>

<p>For many schools, I don’t think you have to… Also, you can always ask teachers from sophomore year if you can’t find a suitable teacher from your junior year, though junior year teachers are preferred since they may remember you better, as they have taught you the most recently.</p>

<p>You don’t always need recs from two subject areas, though I find it strange you’re doing a science internship and want to be an engineer and yet your science/math teachers are unwilling to recommend you.</p>

<p>Check for the schools you’re applying to. You probably will need science/math recs for engineering schools.</p>
