<p>For our Recs, does there HAVE to be one from " math/science" teacher and one from " English/social studies" teacher? because I got rec from my english teacher and history teacher:(, i just realized that they required otherwise. am I in trouble?</p>
<p>i would call them and see...they were pretty specific in labelling one english/social studies and the other math/science. but if you're a person who is heavily involved in english/humanities type stuff and that's where most of your academic interests lie, maybe they'll let it slide.</p>
<p>honestly though, call them. or write your admissions rep. that's the only way you'll find out chicago's reaction. g'luck!</p>
<p>You might be in trouble, because they did state it multiple times on the application and even on the individual reccomendation sheet, but then again U of C is weird. Call them up (or email your adcom rep); if they don't mind, don't worry. If they do, offer if you can send a math/science teacher reccomendation as soon as possible, then get a math/science to do that. They're still organizing everything, so it shouldn't affect your chances. From my impression, U of C is very understanding.</p>
<p>They said on the website that if you want a rec from a different teacher or 2 humanities, you could send an additional one but you still have to have a math/science. So you should probably try to find a math/science teacher ASAP. Chicago is very understanding, so don't worry about it too much.</p>
<p>I was in the same situation. I don't think they'll mind if you send it in late, as long as it doesn't arrive too late (say, mid-february). Just make sure you DO send a math/science rec. (and priority mail shows that you care :)), because it is required. No flexibility on that issue, trust me: I tried to bend the rules a bit myself.
~Good Luck</p>
<p>ahh thanks for the advice . A new problem came up. when checking my status they got my trancript which was sent with my recs. but they said they havent gotten my recs yet. i didnt attach the chicago sheet to them when my counselor sent them off. im confused now, am i supposed to get that reccomendation sheet and staple it to my recs?</p>
