<p>when applying to colleges do they see specifically what that teacher taught you in? If i had a my biolgoy teacher write me a letter would it say science or biology? I also go to a Catholic school i have a religion teacher who could write me a great letter but would that work against me? I am applying to many Catholic colleges.</p>
<p>Not unless the school specifies that they want a recommendation to come from a ‘core’ teacher, in which case you are limited to math, social studies, science, and English. Beyond that, it’s really not about what courses the teacher has taught you in, but what they are able to say about you. That’s important.</p>
