<p>howdy CC, how y'all been?? </p>

<p>ok here's the deal: i've got to submit my recommendation requests like, super soon, so i need to know which teachers i should ask.
i've got three teachers who LOVE me. example: my ap english teacher invited me to her wedding. so its like that sort of thing. i see these three teachers all the time, they are advisors to clubs i'm in, and i talk with them after class, after school blah blah blah.
the problem is: they are all humanities teachers. the teachers that i have for math/ science this year can't write for their lives, so if i asked them for recs i know they wouldn't be good. at all.
so do you think harvard will care that my recommendations come from humanities teachers only? is it really that important that i have a math/science teacher write me one?</p>

<p>Absolutely not. It's important that your recommendations convey a genuine sense of respect and admiration for you, your abilities and your character. Your SAT II scores will tell schools about your mastery of science content.</p>

<p>Are you interested in math/science or in humanities? If the former, you should probably have at least one from math/science. If the latter, definitely not necessary to have a math/science recommendation.</p>

<p>I don't think so...my two recommendations were from English teachers. I'm not even interested in English. Although, one recommendation was an academic viewpoint and one was a leadership viewpoint...I think you should be fine!</p>
