recommendations~!

<p>Would sending recommendations from one english and one history teacher be looked down upon? Or is it better to have recommendations from teachers in different areas of study, such as one english and one math?</p>

<p>As long as they don't explicitly say, it's fine to have an english and social studies. For example, MIT says one from each.</p>

<p>It would depend on the school's policy. Some state "One from an English teacher to show your grasp of Englsih" and "Another from a math/science teacher". Others says two Core Academic subjects, which can be English and History.</p>

<p>Just be careful if you're asking diff. teachers for diff. college/uni that when they hand in their recs. to the guidance counselor, that she doesn't mix them up while compiling the packet with their own rec and your transcript. </p>

<p>(Unless your school sends teacher recommendations separately...)</p>

<p>At my school teachers send the recs, not the Guidance department :D</p>

<p>Cool. My teachers hand it in to the counselor and she stuffs everything in and then hands a big fat packet to us to mail. Sealed and everything...</p>

<p>So I'm actually curious...do people send multiple packets? One with the transcripts/recs and the other with the indvidiual college essays and financial forms/certification and other with whatever?</p>

<p>Man, the money!</p>

<p>I'm sending all of my recs from one english teacher and one social studies teacher. I checked with all of my schools and none of them specify, they just say "academic." </p>

<p>My public school pays for it and asks for a dollar per school (cheaper than if I actually did it myself).</p>

<p>We pay $2 to send our transcripts to each school, but that's it. They take care of all other expenses for mailing. :p</p>

<p><em>sigh</em> That's a little hard for my school to do, what with being in Romania, half way across the world from the US.</p>

<p>Lucky duckling!</p>
