Recommendation Letters Question

Applying to College
1

<p>Last year in junior year, I really got to know my APUSH and AP Lang/Comp teachers. I was gonna ask them for recommendation letters since I think they would write me the best ones, but is it also required to ask for one from History/English and Math/Science?</p>

<p>I can also ask my math teacher, but I don't think she would write me a better one than my English or History teacher.</p>

<p>So is it okay if they are both from the humanities? Or would it be better to ask one from my math teacher and one of the other two?</p>

<p>The colleges I'm applying to are mainly the ivys, UC's, NYU, and USC. I'm looking to major in business.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Some schools (like MIT, I’m pretty sure) require you to have a recommendation from 2 different areas of study. You should check the requirements for each of your schools to see if it matters or not. I know that I got into NYU with only one recommendation (lol) but I have no clue about the others.</p>

<p>Like the above poster said, MIT requires a math/science and a humanities. But MOST, as in a huge majority, will not care which 2 you choose. And some even require only 1. Just send the history/english combination, and if you are applying to a place that requires something else, do so</p>
