<p>for evaluation b, i'm having trouble deciding which humanities teacher i should give it to. </p>
<p>my 11th grade spanish teacher really really likes me; i got the top award in the school for spanish. however, i am no longer taking spanish, and i'm afraid that a recommendation from my spanish teacher would work against me because i'm no longer pursuing spanish. </p>
<p>my other option is to give the evaluation to my ap language teacher. however, i wouldn't say that she really knew me as a student and person as much as my spanish teacher. </p>
<p>so... who do yall think i should give evaluation b to?
also, i'm applying online. do my teachers have to mail the evaluations to mit?</p>
<p>I'm thinking spanish teacher. It is better to get a teacher who likes you then one that is going to do a mediocre job on your rec. Explain to her why you are not taking spanish next year, I'm sure she'll understand your reasoning and write a great rec if she gave you the award.</p>
<p>Yes, give your teachers stamped, addressed envelopes to send in.
They must send it in the mail, online is not an option for teacher/counselor recs.</p>
<p>Teachers have to mail evaluations so provide them with envelopes, stamps and addresses. </p>

<p>well, both teachers like me. it's just that i think i show my strengths as student and person more during spanish than language. i was just afraid that because i'm no longer pursuing spanish, the recommendation would not have as much as an effect than if i were still pursuing foreign language. </p>
<p>I would also vote for the Spanish teacher. One thing you emphatically don't want in a recommendation is a vanilla "this person is a good student and gets A's" type of thing -- you want a strong letter that advocates for you using specific examples.</p>
<p>also, would foreign language be considered a humanities course? (that's one of my worries too, since the teacher evaluation 2 asks for a humanities teacher)</p>
<p>I suggest you should ask your Spanish teacher to recommend. 11th grade is not far back in time when you apply during first semester of grade 12. Let the teacher know about your activities and accomplishments outside of the Spanish class.</p>
