<p>So Ive been told that people from my school dont apply to MIT. I dont have a math/science teacher willing to write a recommendation. Im not a bad student..? I was hoping my physics teacher would. I have a 4.0 and put a lot of time into that class- its a college class but yeah. Apparently thatd be a waste of my time, his time, and the admissions peoples time. </p>
<p>Any ideas? </p>
<p>-student that thinks they at least deserve a chance =)</p>
<p>apply! yeah, you might lose time. but it is better than not trying at all–that will leave you regretting everything.</p>
<p>I’m applying.</p>
<p>I guess I could ask a teacher from my first year of high school…I went to high school for a year before going to the local college. I don’t know what I’m suppose to tell my teacher. I can be doing so much and he tells me that he can’t write a good recommendation because I’m “just not all-together academically ready for ‘higher’ education”…which is kinda silly considering I attend a college. but whatever. </p>
<p>Perhaps he is right though? I doubt very many people have had a teacher flat out refuse to right a recommendation…? I don’t really think a recommendation from a high school teacher would be very good. I’ve tried that before. lol although it was positive it was absolutely terrible.</p>
<p>Don’t give up and don’t be discouraged. If you want to apply, then go for it.</p>
