<p>"It is important that you solicit recommendations from teachers who have taught you in academic subjects..." --Yale</p>
<p>When they say academic subjects, does that pertain only to core classes like math or English, or just school subjects in general like art? I asked my art teacher, who said that art would count as an academic subject, but now I'm wondering if she was referring to the arts supplement rec letter...</p>
<p>It would be amazing if someone could clarify this for me.</p>
<p>General Art teacher would not qualify. Colleges also would say language, music, phys ed and others. </p>
<p>Math, Sci, soc studies, English – these qualify.</p>
<p>So a Spanish teacher would not count either? I see… I guess she was thinking of the arts supplemental rec letter when I asked about this.</p>
<p>Spanish is fine. Foreign language teachers are definitely considered academic.</p>
<p>it varies from school to school. for example MIT takes music recs as humanities. Some schools also take language, while some do not.</p>
<p>If your art teacher taught you in a course like say… art history or art studio, you are most likely in the safe</p>
<p>I see. Thank you for the feedbacks!</p>
<p>First check college websites for specific requirements.</p>
<p>If none are given, the CA Teacher Evaluation form states:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ooops. Thanks all for clarifying my misinformation about the foreign lang thing.</p>
<p>Does world literature at a college count?</p>
<p>You should have high school teachers write your main rec letters Corvids. They have the experience and context to evaluate you among your peers. While you may be excelling in a college course, that rec letter should only be your supplemental, not one of your mains. That’d be my advice.</p>
<p>^^Agree.</p>
